Another thing to check, look under the dash and on the foot brake pedal there should be a switch (that tells the gearbox when the brake in pressed down), check the wires are not broke, or come off..
Leading evidence: 'Check look' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check look' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Collected my 993 Targa Tip yesterday, drove it 200 miles home all fine no problems, put it in the garage moved it into Park then wanted to move it forward a little more, it will not now shift out of Park the lever is solid, you can see a hear movement when you turn the ignition on, but it just will not disengage any ideas please.

I think the Auto gearbox is controlled by the foot brake, you need to make sure the engine is started with the pedal (Brake) no pressed down,when running, then put your foot on the brake (you should hear a click from the gear lever) and she should then go into the required Gear.
hope this helps.

Dan have tried what I think are the correct actions but it wont move, but you dont hear a click when you press the foot brake, you do see and hear a little movement when you turn the key, and from the handbook this would seem to be correct.

Thanks Dan will have a look, its 1997 Targa Tip 30000 miles bought it from a private man yesterday, its FMDPSH it seems very good, have had it inspected etc, hope this is just a small bit of bad luck.

The top of the gear lever on my tiptronic used to come undone and the lever would not then go into Park. It was just a matter of rotating the black button on the gear knob clockwise to get it to work. Try this as I don't know if it affects it coming out of Park.
I'm sure it will be just a little thing like that

Thanks David, it is the top of the gear knob causing the problem, if you turn it a little it solves the problem, but I have not yet worked out why, as if you turn it full tight it then will not work, but just moving it has an effect, just pleased to be able to move the car. Thanks to you all for your help.
