09 Ford fusion automatic transmission hard to shift from park to drive?
Park has a number of safety lock outs for park.
Don't remember what a Ford Fusion has, but it may help to push on the brake pedal or jiggle the steering wheel. By removing the shift console cover, you will be able to see the lock outs.
They often run between the ignition and shifter, but can be electrical solenoids instead.
They can be disconnected quite easily as well. But then it will be easier for the car to come out of park if you leave it with the engine running.
Den y r you gong to park for leave in neutral and put briks on the tyre
Are you parking on a hill? Not using the emergency brake perhaps? If so all cars will do that, the hill will put tension on transmission selector. If that is your scenario - next time when you park the car, put the emergency brake on before you put the car in park, and then it should work better.
If that's not the case perhaps your linkage needs adjustment, bring it to a professional.
Before you do anything check transmission fluid if ok the best to take to transmission shop to have it checked
- My 2000 Ford Taurus won't shift from neutral to reverse or neutral to park? Its curently in neutral but the steering colum shifter will go down to drive or drive 2 and will go back to neutral, but then it stops so I can't back up or park the car.since it doesn't go into park, I can't even take the keys out of the ignition. Any ideas?
- 1997 Ford Ranger 4.0 V6 won't shift into drive after being driven. Takes longer than should to shift into drive when first started? It will go in reverse fine. First thing in the morning when I leave for work, it will shift into drive on it's own, but takes a bit longer than it should. After getting it warm, won't shift into drive at all. I can shift down to 1st or 2nd, then back into drive and it will "pop up" into drive within a second or 2. I also have a ODB2 error P1744 (Torque Converter circuit).
- I have a 2007 Ford Five hundred that when I shift when it's off it moves. But when I turn the car on & shift it won't move It's a TBS transmission. It's not making any noise either. I was told it could be computer on the transmission?
