Subaru legacy stuck in park?
It is possible that the selector lock is not disengaging when you step on the brake. Without more information, specifically the year of your car, I cannot answer specifically. My 2007 Outback has a small round plug to the left of the shifter. You use a screwdriver and pry that plug out. Then you insert the screwdriver in the hole and press down. This will release the selector lock. On other years you may have to remove the entire cover around the selector to gain access to the release. Your owner's manual has details on how to perform this procedure.

How do you release the shifter from park on a 1993 gmc van?
This GMC I believe that it have a release cable under the dash. Where the brake pedal attach with it. Every time you insert the key in ignition and turn over, you still have to press the brake pedal that help release the cable to free the shifter. The cable the run from brake pedal to shifter could be about foot long or 3 feet long. It depend on the kind of shifter your car have. When the brake is press, it pull the cable to release the locking device on the shifter so you can shift it. If it does not release, check the cable on the brake pedal and the shifter for damage or defect. If it still good, check the primary cable that runs from ignition switch to brake pedal that help release the secondary cable which I explained above. More likely, you may need a whole steering column. Does it help? Would you please be kind for a tips. Hill's Towing Company Please write to: Anthony Hill 730 Kelton Ave. Cols.OH 43205 Anthony(Owner)

first thing,check your brake lamps,if the lower brake lamps do not work the car will not come out of park because of a safety feature that requires you to press the brake pedal to shift out of park. the stop lamps provide the power to release the shifter,if this is the case you just need to fix your brak lamps,most vehicle have a featue to enable you to release shifter in emergencies.try turning the key to unlock without turning the dash lamps on then shift to nuetral and start the vehicle,if this doesnt work there should be a plugged off slot by the shifter that you can insert a key to release it
