The gear shift in a 1995 Mazda Protege may lock up due to several reasons, such as a worn or damaged clutch that prevents proper disengagement, or issues with the shift linkage that obstruct smooth movement. Additionally, a malfunctioning transmission or low Transmission Fluid levels can contribute to this problem. It's also possible that foreign debris or corrosion in the shift mechanism is causing the lock-up. Inspecting these components can help identify the exact cause.
where is the transmission shift solenoid located on a 2001 Mazda protege
A squeaky stick shift on a Mazda Protege likely needs greasing. It is recommended that you use a silicon grease for this.
its inside the transmission by the oil pan

Locking Mechanism controlled by your brake pedal has failed. It will need to be repaired
Trouble code P0768 means: Shift solenoid D electrical problem
02 protege5,2.0 inside the tranny ,they're 4 or 5.
Bent shift linkage or you are parking on a hill.
I suspect your hold switch on the shift lever might be bad..or ahs a broken wire.
On the top of the transmission, with a harness headed to it, should be about 3 bolts to take off, then valve comes off... shift solenoids are in there
If your truck has manual locking hubs you will have to manual turn them and then shift the shifter into the 4x4. But make sure you do not leave your locking hubs locked for everyday driving. It can tear them up. Also in 4wd your gas mileage will go down and it will be harder to stear, this is normal.
Take it to a place that does free check engine light check. Some will reset it after they check it for you. Place in New York State are listed on http://NewYorkForum.us
