Check your Brake Light Switch. Some Safety systems Ford uses relies totally on that switch. maybe you parked on a hill and put the gears in a bind push car uphill and try if that fixes it then start using the thing that was put in to keep that from happening parking brake there may be an interlock switch that doesn't allow the car to be shifted out of park unless the key is in and turned to start or run on the ignition switch. try changing the fuse that controls the switch and ur brake lights On my Ford Escort '93 parts car the metal shaft where it goes into the transmission actually seized up. We broke the shifter cable trying to shift it and had to use a pry bar to shift it to drive. I moved off front yard where it had been for sale for weeks , then junked it after stripping parts since town zoning was bugging us. There is a way to manually by-pass the electric switch tho, there is a little cover over a tiny slot to the right of the shifter on the black plastic top trim, you pry that off and stick in a flat bladed screwdriver straight down and push to unlock the electric switch, thus allowing you to shift to neutral were you can start the car, then switch to drive or reverse. == I have a '93 Ford Escort LX 1.9 that will not shift out of park without first starting the car and then applying the brake and then shifting out of park. Usually a '93 ford escort has on it what is called a shift-interlock solenoid.
