700r4 gear shift lever want lock in place
The year, make and model vehicle would help but in some vehicles the shift cable runs under the drivers side carpet and gets damaged from constant moisture resulting in a sticky, binding shift lever.
To operate a semi-automatic Vauxhall Corsa, start the engine and ensure it's in the 'neutral' position. To move forward, simply shift the gear lever to 'D' (drive) and release the brake; the car will begin to move without needing to manually operate the clutch. To slow down or stop, apply the brake, and if you need to reverse, shift the lever to 'R' (reverse). Always remember to shift to 'P' (park) when parking the vehicle.
It could be mechanical or it could be electrical. Sometimes if you park on a steep incline or park hard up on a curb, the shift will be difficult to come out of park but it should with a little extra pull on the lever. Also, check the fuses. many vehicles today must have the brake pedal applied to release the shift lever from park. If the fuse is blown that protects that circuit, the shift lever will not move.
bark lever
The shift level is locked by the shift solenoid. When you step on the brake, the brake switch sends power to the shift solenoid and it moves a lever to unlock the shifter. If either the switch or solenoid is bad, you can't shift out of park.
Depends on the mine. Some operate one shift a day. Some operate a production shift and a maintenance shift. And some mines operate three shifts, 7 days a week.

chevy silverado ha automatic transmission . shift lever on column when put in or out of gear flops up and down . is it hard to put a spring in the column to repair
Are you asking about the shift lever on a column shift car or the console shift handle?
I have had the same problem with my 2002 Buell Blast, where when you shift to first, or down shift at all, the shift lever comes loose and just hangs. What I did to fix this, is loosen the hex-nut and bolt that go through the shift lever, and remove the shift lever itself. What is probably happening is oil is seeping in between the shift lever openining and the primary. Clean the openinig on the shift lever, and the spool it attaches to. If the hex-bolt is in poor condition, pick up a new one, or if it's in alright condition (not stripped) clean it. Simply set the shift lever where you want it, and retighten the hex-bolt. Tighten it a fair bit, using a lever to get extra leverage on it. Buells are notorious for leaking oil, so start with that. Worked for me...
