Thread: LR3 stuck in park

From what you say it sound like mechanical damage, but,

Can you hear the brake interlock solenoid click off in the console when you depress the brake pedal? If not, the gear shift lockout solenoid/circuit may be faulty, check fuses.

Hi Grappler,
I can feel the brake lock out operate when the brake is depressed. This is also the lever I am trying to activate from underneath.....

I should be able to do this but I cannot remove the lever.

This one explains the lever....

It was all good until I tried to twist it off.... Except for the button being broken. Damned if I know how I am going to get this to a landy specialist now...

Hmm, tricky

Are you stuck on the road?

You will need to at least find neutral in gb or transfer. Im pretty sure dragging it up a flat bed in park would not be recommended.

With some luck you will jag the release on the damaged selector and get moving

If the vehicle is safe relax and get some advise tomorrow on getting mobile or what preparation is needed for trnasport

Yeh mate, I am at home. Getting frustrated with her now anyway.... Cheers for your help!! I'll tackle her again tomorrow.

If all else fails, and you need to transport, find a flatbed operator that uses wheel dollies or skids, and is familiar with transporting locked up constant drive vehicles

Good luck

So I managed to remove the gear knob and gained access to the selector assembly.... Which is broken (and I bet expensive,) now to disconnect the cable. Anyone able to supply information on how to do this??
Do I disconnect form the gearbox or does it somehow come apart from the selector assembly?

A bit of digging up the past but, I've done the same thing. I went to remove the knob by unscrewing, turns out id doesn't unscrew.
Now the button is jammed. When I remove the knob the white bit stays behind in the shaft from the gearbox.
The switch undernearh works and is activated by the brake pedal, but it won't move from park with the switch underneath in either position.

How did you end up resolving your problem?

So the white bit is jammed won't move either way.
