FYI - It is VERY difficult to snap the part onto the ball studs, at least it was in my 98 truck. My original part was missing so there was a little surface rust on the ball studs. I scrubbed them with a wire brush then put a little silicone on them. I had to use a long screwdriver to press it on, it was a total PITA! You feel like the part is going to break, but it will eventually snap on. Thanks for this video, I really appreciate it!!

Your video saved the day for me. I was 60 miles from home when I couldn't get my chevy Silverado out of park. I saw your video and I was able to get the truck in gear. Thank you so much. Great video!

Wow. Been fighting my 2 door Tahoe for the past couple of months. Popped the clip, and saved a painful troubleshoot. I can't thank you enough, but I'll buy you a beer down the road.

Thank you thank you thank you. My 99 suburban got stuck in a nasty parking garage and I did not want to leave it over night. You saved the day!!!!!

Stuck at the local gas station at closing time getting munchies. Videos was a Lifesaver man

Thank you,Sir.. From the comments I can see you helped many people. Your efforts made this world an “easier” place . Blessings on you. 🇨🇦

Holy shit THANK YOU! Simple and easy to understand, you showed where it was and now I am not embarrassingly stuck in front of a customers house anymore!!!

Okay, That was an awesome video. I immediately thought the worse when my Yukon did that tonight. Many thanks for showing the part number and that Amazon had it. Blessings to you sir.

You saved the day!! Spot on for my 98 Silverado! I replaced my trashed transmission cable a year ago, which had rusted apart underneath my feet. And I was now scratching my head as to why I was having problems again, i.e. stuck in park. I was getting ready to look in several other possible areas for the problem, then I stumbled on your video. Huge Thanks, and thanks for taking the time to post the very helpful video!!

So glad you made this video. I was stuck at the boat ramp trying to pull my boat out of the water when mine when out. I watched this video and only had a pair of pliers and a screwdriver. Took a little bit to disconnect it but it worked. After watching this I was able to get home. Thanks

Mine just started doing this. I was looking and looking and this made sense by what i could see. I unplugged and now i can get it out of park but i definetly will replace the part. That's why i stick with this truck because. They are old enough that most issues are known and not expensive to fix. I feel sorry for others who have newer vehicles and have to get the dealership to fix them. Thanks man you saved many many allot of headaches.

Great tutorial, this is going to help out people tremendously. Awesome job brother!

I suck when it comes to mechanical issues. I lack the skill and the patience. But you made this video so simple I was able to fix my 1995 GMC Sierra which was stuck in front of someone's house for like a week. Thanks

Thank you for your video on this repair. I recently bought a 1997 Chevy C1500 Suburban and noticed a problem shifting out of park. My repair manual doesn't cover this issue clearly and you made it so easy to understand. Again thank you.

Thanks for keeping it short and simple, very helpful bud.

Seriously. Good job on this video. There was nothing out there to describe this fix. I feel better knowing that I won't be totally stuck, and I can bypass it, as mine has been acting up for a little bit now. Thank you again.

Was trying to get my snowplow vehicle moving and couldn't. Watched your video and was able to get the job done. Thank you. Great video

Ive been fighten with this for awhile , I thought it was the brakelight switch , this worked ! You saved me ! I was stuck at the gas station . thank you soo much . I'll get the new part now .

Thank you. Wish I’d seen this video a week ago before I’d already fixed it…very helpful.

This video saved me big time when my 2000 Tahoe Z71 locked in park. Thank You. And you did great job explaining it, that 90° screwdriver trick made it easy.

Thank you very much for the video. My Yukon is back in action.

Video was a great help. Would add that on a 2004 Suburban, there is what looks like an ECM and a vent tube blocking access to the part. You can pop the vent piece out, and a 7mm socket can remove the bracket for the ECM-looking box. The box drops, and there is the part you need access to. Hope this helps, and thank you for a very helpful video.

Thanks for the insight on how this solenoid fits in. Just a couple things I did different. Unclip the arm from the shift lever, shift works. Unclip the device from both ends, work it out to the bottom and you can disconnect the electric plug a lot easier. After you get the device snapped back in place, with the vehicle in park, slide the round part as far aft as possible then push the white tab in to lock it. Otherwise you may not get the safety feature to work. The round part needs to be as far aft as possible so it can lock the shaft with the indent in the shaft.

Man this video got me out of big jam,where I was blocking a driveway to an apartment complex,good job on how to get it done !

I was out in the deep woods when I found that I could not get it out of park. Your video was a lifesaver. I like the details like, "push down here to remove the plug." (That was actually the hardest part.) Amazingly, I found a new OEM replacement on ebay for less than $30, including shipping. (Thanks for listing the part number.) I never comment on videos but this one was very well done and it saved me $$$$$! Great job!

Wish I would have found this video earlier.. got stuck at the gas station with my truck stuck in park. Had to tow it home. Definitely gonna try and fix it myself this weekend.

Thank you for the video, New Years Eve the Suburban we inherited wouldn’t shift when we drove it into town to the store and my wife who has small hands was able to unplug it so we could drive home and didn’t have to get towed by AAA. Video was a great help getting us home.

Thanks..needed this last week. I looked like a nut in my Tahoe trying to shift .

Thank you for taking the time to do this video, hopefully this will fix my problem, I thought my transmission was f up

Outstanding! My truck is 4x4 and it gets way out there. Also, my Son drives it. This is a life saver video. Thank you!! I may just cut into the wire and bring it up to a toggle switch on the dash. That way I can always have it enabled, but if it fails, just click the switch and open the circuit.

Thank you for the advice and the trouble shooting temp. fixed a customer problem

My switch is going out as we speak but now I know how to repair myself. Great job and thank you!!

Thank you Señor, for the insight of that actuator. It’s supposed to lock the little bar in place to prevent the truck from shifting into park; but the little mounting hole and the bar go mounted on some ball joint studs, on the shifter and the column. I think you have to put use some seam sealer or Gorila Glue on the terminal and actuator mounting hole, to mount it back on the column and shifter. In my case, there was no bushings or anything where it buttons to the ball joint studs.

Thank you for your help. Very easy to follow.

Thank You!!!! Helped me from possibly removing the steering colom to find the problem.. Awesome video.

Ive been dealing with this problem for weeks, I replaced the damn brake light clip sensor on the brake booster push rod, it shifted great for a week then today it started again. This video helped me allot, now I'll be replacing the correct part. Thank you.

I have a 2001 chevy Tahoe z71 & your video is awesome & explains it SOOOOO much better than any video I’ve watched. It seems it’s much easier to access on your GMC from underneath I literally couldn’t get my head in there to see from near the pedals 😅 so I took the knee panel off & there’s the metal plate in front still that I may have to take off 😂 but I was able to get the green clip off just not the wires yet. Having acrylic nails & limited hand space is my enemy at the moment. Chevrolet dealership also just told me that the part I need is called automatic trans shift lock so I’m hoping they’re right. Again, thank you so much for your video & very helpful information. I’m hoping this is the issue because I already had my trans gear shift cable changed from it being stuck in park cause right now we have to shift it from underneath truck & I can’t do that by myself. Hope I can get this last part disconnected so I can see if that’s my issue.

Man thanks for posting video!! Real helpful

Duuuuuuude thank you. 2000 something Chevy Suburban has a metal plate in front of it but it got lose and popped off. Thanks to you i popped it back on and strapped it down and we're good to go.

Thank you, excellent video. Another video did show you turn the ignition key to just before it starts. Tthis allows you to shift into neutral and then start the truck. Once started shift into gear, go home and replace the solenoid. Keep on Keeping on!

Best video out on this issue thanks

Thanks soooo much giving that a try tomorrow

Man this was a helpful video thank you soo much for explaining everything so good and very understandable step by step made my job easier thank you sir!!

I really likened this video very good how 2's and where 2's. Looking forward to more of your videos.

Thank you! Your video was perfect !

I knows this is an older video but it helped me out a lot. I was able to identify the solenoid and unplug it to prove that was the faulty part. Now i just have to figure out how to get my hands in there too replace it with a new one. Thanks!!

Thanks bro my 1995 gmc Yukon had the same problem & seeing you change the part & wires saved my ass !!!

Thank you. This solved the problem for me. I decided to take the bottom dash off

Thanks man!! This really really helped!!!

Thank you man!!...saw this after the tow home.

Instant subsciber... Man you just saved me so much headache.

Broke the shifter mechanism on my suburban because of this. After replacing the mechanism myself i still obviously couldnt shift out of park lol so grateful i found this video though. Thank you.

Thank you your video and the information is awesome!

very helpful thanks! just picked up a 1999 suburban and this started happening.

Exellent tutorial thank you !! Shift Its the same process in a 98 gmc sierra

Thank you - have 2005 GMC Yukon that is hard to get back into park. It will move into all the other gears but have to play with it to get it back into park. Thanks again.

Thank you! Very helpful!

Thanks man! Your video made my day. I almost broke the shifter after I had a long day at work trying to put the damn thing in drive smh 🤦‍♂️ lol Everyone stopped laughing when I watched your video and put it drive and left 😂💯

Thanks so much for your video.

You -my brother are a LIFESAVER😊😊😊❤

Thanks for the info 😊

Thats awsome info brother! You saved me a major headache I'm gonna try it. Just ran all new brake lines wheel cylinders shoes and pads and cant get out of park. Thanks a lot your AWSOME!. I SUBSCRIBE to the channel thanks again.

Thank you for the help and part number... but in All Honesty... the best part is that after watching several times....I could fix it myself ☺ Thank You VERY Much..

Thank you so much i got stuck in park in a car wash!!

Worked great thank you man :)

Brother thank you so much, been fighting to install that solenoid for 2 days know, watch so many videos ask so many questions no body could give me an answer, if you wouldn't have mentioned that clip, I've would be fighting it still, YOU'RE AWESOME BROTHER THANKS....

I was stuck after picking up a brake booster that I ordered from a parts store, I would've had to pay towing plus who knows what to get it fixed on my Chevy Express 2500 2007 work van. I googled gmc park shift on my phone, got this video and saw the green wire and shape of the shift interlock solenoid, stuck my head under the dash and found it on the drivers side of the steering column, disconnected the plug and VOILA! Thank you very much sir. Here is a tip for you and others. If we trust Jesus the Christ as our saviour, through His undeserved mercy, He will save us from a crisis eternity and transport us to be with Him forever. Much, much better than being stuck in park at the side of the road with a vehicle that won't move.

Thank you. My baby is going on 230k miles. This starting to happen.

You saved me bro! Thanks!!!

yes i do and i did. It's the right thing to do bro. You took the time and energy to make the video and i got the information for freeeeee. You are the man. Keep up the fantastic work. Now i can burn rubber.

Similar gm model, sometimes I have to bounce forward in my seat to get it out of park, what would that be?

Great video, thanx. Question: When you pushed the sockets onto the knobs, did you have to use a lot of force to get them to pop into place? Thanx...

Dam after reading through all kinds info your fixed work so at least I can get home and I know what's wrong I'm not any kinda mechanical I'm a musician and it took 10 mins after your video thx bro

guess i'm gonna have to subscribe now. you saved the day.

excellent help Video thank you

THIS IS THE BEST ONE ON THIS TOPIC SO FAR 2022

Dam life saver bro I guess I'll bypass it till Friday to switch that pary

Was your brake light on before and when you changed that switch did it go out.

Thanks for the help

Good video was a big help

Thank you very much for sharing this video was very helpful I have one question my truck won't shift gear its stuck in park is this the same part that is cosing the problem ?

Thank you so much.

Thank you your video just rescued me from the gas station in my new Used1997 sierra God bless

Great Vid, Just an FYI if your stuck…. if you turn your key one click to accessory you can put your truck in neutral and then turn the key to start.

Dude....you rule! Finally a usefull utube video! I just got my 99 tahoe back today after shelling out 450.00 dollors forba brake booster replacement. I was on my way home and stopped for gas. Bingo....cant shift. Popped the wires off and went on my way! I drive heavy trucks and grew up in the 70's when you actually had to have a brain to drive. All the old cars would shift without a foot on the brake. All heavy trucks will start in gear. DUH! .I wont be fixing it . I will just keep using the common sense god gave me unlike todays drivers who need automatic breaking and cars that park themselves.

You saved my f-ing life ty sooooooooo much for this video

Buen video!!!

The small white tab on my replacement unit is completely out of the adjuster block. How the heck do I get it back inside so I can fully insert it once installed? Thanks!

08 Yukon stuck in park and can't move the shift lever. My stabil track and traction control light is one also. So maybe the this part is not getting power to release?

Thanks man

Got me home kodos thanks good video

I just want to say thank you bro!! I wish I could shake your hand ..you have no idea what a help your video was to me today 💯🙌🏼 thank you brotha

VERY GOOD INFORMATION THANK YOU...........

Thanks you have been a lot of help . My problem is no brake lights so it will not come out of park. All fuses good , brake switch I think same spot under dash .

Awesome ty so much. You ask the part store for an interlocking solenoid they don’t even know what you are talking about.

Thank you for the video. The only problem I’m having locking the white tab in. Any suggestions? Thanks

What is that part called , I need one for my 2004 Silverado

I tried that and it didn't work for me. The part was broke so I have replaced it, and even when it didn't work I tried unplugging it and it still wouldn't go into drive.. but did make progress going into Reverse and Neutral it almost goes into drive and will if you pull really hard and hold it down, so I'm thinking it might be the trans cable or the shifter spring or gear selection mechanism

Great Video Here… did exactly what you said boss Good Deal!!!… appreciate it will do a video as well and post… great awareness 💪 😊

Hello thanks for the video. I just installed the part, ensured the clip was down and everything secure and my truck is still shifting out of park without my foot on the brake. Any ideas?
