doesn't your brake pedal need to be pushed in too? if your shift lock is messed up i think you can just pull the fuse out of the fuse box to make it not function. although, it's probably not recommended to keep it that way, because you might need it some day on a hill or something.

engine mounts, look to see if they are torn/broken. the engine could be moving out of alignment with the transmission not letting you shift. i couldnt shift into first when mine broke.chris
