Best Answer

Two items that might prevent the shifter from moving:

# Ignition key lock. If this mechanical part isn't releasing the mechanism to the transmission lever, the shifter will not move. # Brake pedal switch. On some cars, one must depress the brake pedal in order to release the shifter out of Park. Could be a defective switch for that, too.

What would cause a 91 capri to have lost spring tension in the side to side motion of the shifter?

Your shifter assembly is just shot. Happens to most older ford/mercury shifters. There is a shifter rebuild kit available online...usually Ebay, that sells for about $85 that will fix it. It comes with a new link, some plastic and rubber bushings etc. and can be easily installed from under the car. Look for a shifter rebuild kit. To prevent this from hapening again DO NOT DRIVE with your hand ON THE SHIFTER! Use it only to shift!


Why does my Mercury Mountaineer not shift into park?

This is commonly cause when the transmission is replaced and the shift linkage is not hooked up properly. Find the shift cable on your transmission and disconnect it, then put your shifter into park. The transmission linkage needs to be put in park as well. Now that both the transmission and your shifter are in park, you can adjust the cable accordingly and reconnect it. This should solve your problem.
