my lincoln town car started with not going into park and now it wont go in reverse what is wrong and how do i fix it
You can also start a car in Neutral. Also remember to put your foot on the brake too.
what is going on
Sounds like the linkage that goes from your gearstick to the transmission needs adjusting.
There is a little plunger switch that tells the car it is in park or neutral so the starter circuit can activate. Cycle through the shifter P-R-N-D... a few times, then go back to park and try again. If that doesnt work, try starting in in Neutral, but keep your foot on the brake pedal so you dont roll.
if the car is in park the almost any car wont go over 4000 rpm usaully like 3700 it is a safety issue
It means to put your car into park mode; the brakes are on and the car won't go forward or back.
why reverse wont go in on 2004 town car
Gear up then
serpentine belt
Its the gear shift. It's not all the way in park. The car may not be moving, but its not locked in the park position. Check it out. I had the same exact problem
Check for any obstructions in the linkage.
