When I put my foot on the brake,the car would go into gear.If I didn't it wouldn't shift into gear. Now even when I do hit the pedal,it won't shift into any gear.Are there a switch some where that I could check?? Thanks

 

There is an interlock solenoid that prevents the car from being shifted until the brake pedal is depressed (obviously; you've found it). It's located either on the steering column or under the console (can't remember which). I bets it's just gotten weak or is sticking. Mine has gotten fairly bad over the last couple years as well, but I havn't bothered to repair it since I'm about to yank and toss it anyway..

Maybe Shoebox can chime in here and point out it's exact location..

Thanks. I'll look and see what I can find.

 

I found the culprit. A wire going to the solenoid/switch had come loose and now everything is ok.It was located on the firewall.
