1. Bob S Says: The transmission won't shift out of park. I am holding the brake, and the brake lights do come on. To move the transmission I have to press the shift lock button.

What is wrong?

97 camry
2. Dan Says: I'm going to ask the dumb question.Are you parked on a hill?When you park on a hill and put it in park pressure is put on the drivetrain when the car rolls a little bit and it can be hard to take it out of park the next time you go to drive it.
3. William K Says: That sounds to me like it's working fine,you should have to press in the shift lock button to move it into other gears.Unless I read your question wrong.The only other thing would be the linkage is stuck underneath the car or something is jammed or rusted it just might need a little shot of WD-40.
4. bandit_60 Says: you might want to check the shifting cable, it could be binding.
