Question type: Maintenance & Repair

MY 1999 Subaru Legacy Outback was stuck in park.  I released it with a screw

right way?

Pretty simple: Pry off the cover bezel and clean out any french fries, raisins, or congealed coke syrup from the actuator that you'll be able to move with your reapplied screwdriver (or finger). Eventually you'll get it clean enough to operate normally.
