the neatrul switch
You must apply your foot on the brake while shifting into drive.
The most common problem I have seen is a failed motor or trans mount.
Drive...
A car might stall when shifting from park to reverse if the idle is set too low. It is also possible that the engine stalls because it is not fully warmed up before shifting from park to reverse.
No.
My 99 Ford Windstar was doing that; as well as hestitating to shift when driving. It was diagnosed with a bad torque converter.
A 12 year old can drive a car in a car park but not on a public road!
Some vehicles have a safety switch that keeps you from shifting out of park if the brake isn't on. If that switch has failed or is adjusted improperly you will not be able to get out of park. CALL THE REBUILDER AND POLITELY ASK HIM TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG.
There are a couple of things that can cause your Mazda to cut off and be stuck into the drive gear. The most common causes are a broken shifting fork or a malfunctioning transmission fluid pump.
I must know more? Does this happen when you engage to drive or reversefrom park or when you take off?

Put your foot on the brake. Most/all newer cars have an interlock that keeps you from shifting from park to drive without your foot on the brake. Sometimes if you park the car on a hill, it will be difficult to move the shifter out of park. That's why some people use the emergency brake before putting the car into park when parking on a hill or incline (like a driveway)
