absolutely!
It being in neutral or park.
the gear you have it in might be neutral.
its like triptronic in an automatic car, click the 'Manu' button in and the move the gear stick down to 'L', L locks the car in first gear then when you want to change gear move the gear stick to the number '2' for 2nd gear and then change it once again the the letter 'D' for 3rd gear .. so revs like a Manuel but without the clutch and only 3 gears to changes through its more for racing and fuel efficiency that's what i have been reading up anyway, haven't actually tried this for myself
If its a 4x4 it's in neutral probably
Disengage the linkage.
The neutral position puts a cars transmission out of gear and therefore makes the car roll.
I have a 1995 Ford Econoline van with an automatic transmission. When I went to drive the car today, the shift gear moved and shifted but would not go into gear. It's refusing to "click" into gear for Reverse, Neutral, or Drive, and has quite a problem clicking into Park as well. When I set the car to drive, it does not move, in fact it acts like it's in neutral. What's wrong with it? Is it the transmission, or possibly something else? If so, what?
Move the car. If the fan belt moves, it's still in gear. Also would be fairly hard to move if in gear.
The parking brake is on or the transmission (automatic) or the clutch (standard) has problems.
First you have to press the clutch all the way to the floor, then move the gear shifter whether it is on the collar or stick shift) to the middle of all the gears, then the vehicle will be in neutral.
Some automatic sticks have a release button on them to press. It may be located on the side or the top of the shift knob.
If you are trying to conserve gasoline. Drining an Automatic: when the car wont start and you need to move it. In an emergancy where you need to shut off the engine while the car is moving. Or when you want to coast. Driving a Standard: Anytime you start, stop, change gears, want to coast/roll...etc
