Hard to shift down from P after parking
Occasionally has problem to pull down the gear from P to D after parking the car. It happened when I I last used the reverse gear before putting it at park. The gear seem to be stuck at P even I have stepped hard on the brake. Have to apply a bit of force to pull down. Is it something wrong with my shift lock?
I am driving a 92 200E.

Dont let your tranny lock in P when your parking on a hill. Use the parking brake then put it in P. You shouldn't have any problem shifting out of P.

Jim's500E,
Shouldn't be the tranny fluid issue. Checked and ok on the tranny fluid level. My friend suggest to put the gear on N first before shift it to P. Will it shorten the tranny's life?
Will get my mechanic to check on the system during my next oil change.
