Stick Won't Move From "p" Park

[Stagea1]

Hey Guys. Lately having trouble with stagea. It's auto. Won't move from "P". Any one else? Is it just transmission fluid or something?

I'm not that smart with it

either the button isnt tight on the stick, pull the bottom of the stick down and make sure the sirclip is in the correct spot.

or u have to have the key in the ignition and foot on the brake otherwise it wont move

yeah you need the ignition on and your foot on the brake pedal.

if thats not working, its probably the solenoid that activated the locking mechanism. there is a manual override next to the park position. pull out the little stopper and stick a screwdriver in the opening. it will release it

this is on an M35. C34 might be similar.

Easiest check is your brake lights, if they arent coming on then your switch may be faulty, solenoid wont operate then

is there a manual release button on the side? normaly red

Hey thanks for the help guys. My foot is on the brake. I know I have to do that for the shift lock. On the c34 I can't see any manual release thing for a screw driver. I do know what they look like I've seen them on new cars. I am looking for it. Where is it? I have called mechanic b says it's electrical problem. Because I can hear the click sound when it unlocks but then it won't move dam it.

I DOUBT its an electrical fault.

The lockout for park on these cars runs off a PHYSICAL locking cable that runs from the shifter to the underside of the ignition barrel.

The cable up and to the left of the shifter in this car is the Lockout cable.... see how its been removed for manual conversion. Pull your centre console out and have a look to see if its still in place and then look under your barell to make sure its not causing issues for you.

Alrightey I fixed it. It was the ignition cable. Runs from the console to the ignition. I took off all the plastic under the steering wheel to trace the cable to the stick. Injust gave it a pull and it's fixed. I've played around with it and now it's better than before. Thank kidafa for that link and everyone else.
