hmm... from what experience I have messing with the trans on
my foresters, I removed one and it's connected via cable to the
selector box. Yesterday I was searching for stuck gear and
wasn't finding any "first gear" scenarios. I'm assuming it locks in
park without the brake applied? So with the brake applied, it
releases the shifter but it does not change any gears. Is that
accurate? You might give a visual inspection to the cable
connection or have someone change gears while looking at it. If
it's still connected and moving the actuator then it might be a
failure inside the trans of some sort. And that's where I'm not
able to help. Get back to me and let me know what you find.
Best regards,
