Shifter adjustment

Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your S-Type. If your shifter won't go into park, it could be due to a misadjusted or damaged shift linkage, a worn shifter cable, or an issue with the park interlock mechanism. Start by checking the shift cable for any looseness or damage and adjust it if necessary. Sometimes, debris or wear in the shifter assembly can also prevent smooth operation, so inspect and clean the shifter base. If the issue persists, professional help might be required to diagnose the exact cause, as some adjustments or repairs may involve the transmission linkage directly. If you need more advice, have any other questions about your vehicle, or would like to get connected to a RepairPal Certified shop near you, we have you covered. Give us a call at 877-913-1554, and we will happily help you out!
