Some Chevrolet Corvette owners report experiencing difficulties in shifting out of park, even after mechanic intervention. These issues may arise from mechanical faults, such as a jammed gear shift due to interactions between the gear shift and the brake. Additionally, a broken shift cable has been identified as a common problem among Corvettes, necessitating replacement to restore proper function. Some owners also find that a faulty brake light switch can hinder shifting, requiring replacement and possible calibration by a dealer. Furthermore, problems with the linkage connecting the gear selector to the transmission can impede shifting, indicating a need for inspection and potential adjustment or replacement. Lastly, ensuring the correct shifting procedure is followed can help prevent these issues; this includes easing pressure on the shift lever and properly engaging the park position. If problems persist, consulting a specialized Corvette mechanic or dealership is recommended for effective resolution.
