1990 Camry Shift Level Lock on me.

I have a 1990 Camry. The problem started yesterday. The Shift Level lock on me. I have to push the Override Shift Level in order to shift the drive into R, D, 2, or L. Does anyone know why?

Thank You

You need to press the brake to shift out of Park. Maybe the switch that tells the computer your pressing the brake is bad.

Just a thought

You probably need to replace the neutral switch to the tranny.

From what you're describing, there seems to be a short somewhere.

it prolly is the neutral safety switch.... you can get them from a junk yard for around 60 because they make you buy the tranny with them...otherwise you are looking around 200-300 for a new one from the dealer...find a local mechanic and talk to him....he will probubly get one from a junk yard for you
