Land Rover Repair: transmission, costly repair, circlip

Question
I own a 2002 Land Rover Disco. Recently it would not shift out of park. After removing the shift cover I was able to manually push the small button in that was locking the shift lever in place. What do I need to do to fix the problem?
Thank you,
Don

Answer
Hi Don,

first check the brake pedal switch to make sure its working.  Do you have brake lights on when you fully press the pedal? This is not a very expensive repair.

Could also be the park-neutral switch - more costly repair.

The older Disco's had a problem with a circlip on the shifter - it would break off and thus the shifter would become stuck.  

Best of luck,
