Hi 68rallysport,

The interlock system is malfunctioning preventing the gear to be shifted out.

Check if the brake lights are working when this happens, if not, you have a faulty brake switch.

If brake lights are working and you do not hear a solenoid clicking near the gear shift console, the interlock solenoid could be stuck or not getting power to operate it.
