What happens if you put it in a lower gear or even reverse? I ask cause if you can get any other gear then you might have low fluid...worse case is a blown clutch pack somewhere... if your not getting any of the gears then look and make sure u have the fluid to the right level, if all that checks out then your gonna have to start thinking about a rebuild kit, or a shop.
If it still rolls in park check to see if the shift linkage rod came loose. There is a rod that runs down to the transmission in the engine compartment that had a bolt to clamp it tight like a set screw. If this loosened up it may be sitting in neutral at all times. Either that or the parking peg is broken off in the trans and fluid is low or trans is burnt up. Hopefully it's the first thing I listed, easy fix that way.
still will not move no matter what gear I put it into . The car will roll when pushed in gear but will not drive in any gear.. it will even moved when I put it on parked and pushed it . Am thinking no matter what the fluid level is , I should not be able to push the car when it is in parked. I taught the parking gear was broken so I reached under the car and put the car in drive yet still I can push the car with ease.xodruxo said:
You should be able to freely move an automatic equipped vehicle when it's out of park and not running because nothing is physically connected to the output shaft.
If you have thoroughly inspected all the external shift linkages, it's time to pull the pan. When you do, make sure that when you move the shifter that the manual valve is moving in the valve body. It's attached with an S-clip. You should also be able to see the internal linkage that engages the parking pawl. It's the rod with the spring on the end.

yes I did , I physically went down under the car. I disconnect the shifter cable and shifting it by hand , am hearing the gears going into prnd21 and I can push the car dnt matter what gear the shifter is in with one finger , but it will not drive when I start it . The car just rev and does not go. am going to drop the pan today 4-13-2014 then I will go from there thanks for the input guys.. I know you can push an automatic when its in gear but it aint suppose to be that easy to push it on gear.. I mean one finger and the car rolling .lilbowtie said:
As I said a little history to the problem might help - or did it just happen. Since you can hear and feel the gear positions your shaft, rooster, and detent spring and roller are working.
That should also engage the parking paw through an actuating rod connected to the rooster which isn't happening so there is a problem here to start with. As MeanBuicks said check
the S clip and the manual valve also.
