Vx Corsa 1.4 auto - '08 Corsa auto - gear stuck in 'Park' - happyvaux

Hi all,

got a problem all of a sudden, were the gearstick won't move out of the 'Park' position. I have to raise the gear gaiter & push the yellow tab down in order to put it in 'Drive'. ( Got this tip out of the car's handbook, or I'd still be in Asda's car park!)

My foot is on the footbrake whilst trying to put it in drive, as it has to be, and I can hear a click when I push the brake in, so it sounds like the ?solenoid? is working.

Is there some kind of adjustment I can make?

Cheers

Pete

I don't think there is any adjustment to be made.If the solenoid is clicking ,then it is possible that part of the release linkage has come adrift or something has jammed in the mechanism.Is the car under warranty?hth

Yes, car still under warranty for 3 more months, but nearest dealer is 20 miles so it's easier if I can sort something simple. Cheers
