Not sure of the question, but if your car is less than 7 yrs old, apply the brake first, then you can move the shift selector.
Absolutely not.
hmmm unlock to shift from park? Over drive off/on?
I have a similar issue my '88 accord LXI automatic does not have reverse and it grinds in park and drive. Told the shift fork in the transmission and shift for bushing are going out and the tranny needed to be rebiult
Check to make that the brake lights are working - shift interlock is in the same circuit - could ba a bad fuse. You can try turning the key (with engine off) o to the first position (Unlock) shift to neutral to start vehicle and then shift to "Drive or Reverse"
Simply start the vehicle with the shift lever in the Park position. If you wish to go backward place the shift lever in the R location. When you're ready to move forward place the shift lifter in the D position. Only shift from park to reverse or to drive when the vehicle is sitting still.
car will jerk forward and then go in reverse
Check your Automatic Transmission fluid level
Could be a universal joint. If front wheel drive, it could be the constant velocity joint. I am assuming you have an automatic transmission. If it is a standard transmission, it could be the throwout bearing.
Check to see if the stop lights are working--same circuit as the shift interlock, Perhaps blown fuse? Try turning the key to 1st position, shifting to neutral to start vehicle and then shift to Drive or Reverse
does it shift into reverse and wont drive? if so its your tranny it needs to be replaced
Yes, well I can do it on my car
are you pressing the brake as you try to shift?
