When the transmission lever is in 'Park' it activates a small rod (known as a "pawl") that slips between the teeth of the transmission gears and locks the transmission at a standstill. It is possible that through age (or mis-use and abuse) the pawl may have been bent or broken (e.g.- someone tried toput the vehicle into 'park' while it was still moving). If you're lucky, perhaps the rods running from the shift lever to the transmission have gotten out of adjustment (or bent) and the lever is unable to activate the pawls action.

The transmission is probably shot. Holding in park is just a pin holding it. It has nothing to do with the transmission engaging. If the fluid is full and nothing works, reverse or any forward gears, the pump is bad or something else internal in the transmission.

Why does the automatic transmission not come out of park on a 1995 Lincoln Continental brake pedal is pushed but the shift lever will not release from park position?
If the vehicle is parked on a hill and the weight of the vehicle is being held by the parking gear you may find that it will be difficult to shift out of park. I suggest using the parking BRAKE to hold the weight of the vehicle while parked. Set the parking brake BEFORE you put it into park, or at least before you remove your foot from the brake pedal. That way you are having the parking brake hold the weight and the transmission becomes the backup for holding the vehicle. It should be a lot easier to get it out of park then.

Why does my Mercury Mountaineer not shift into park?
This is commonly cause when the transmission is replaced and the shift linkage is not hooked up properly. Find the shift cable on your transmission and disconnect it, then put your shifter into park. The transmission linkage needs to be put in park as well. Now that both the transmission and your shifter are in park, you can adjust the cable accordingly and reconnect it. This should solve your problem.
