What is the reason for the automatic transmission P gear not being able to be released?

The reason why the automatic transmission P gear cannot be released is that the pawl is stuck on the gear. The P gear locking mechanism of an automatic transmission consists of a locking gear, a locking pin, and a set of actuating mechanisms. After shifting into P gear, the cable drives the connecting ball pin. At this time, the working pin slides to make the locking pin pawl engage tightly with the parking gear, and the vehicle's gearshift is locked, making it impossible to pull the gearshift lever. A large torque is formed between the hook head and the pawl, making it difficult to disengage under the external force of the vehicle. The solution to the problem of the automatic transmission lever not being able to be pulled out of P gear is to first start the vehicle, then shift into another gear. Alternatively, press the brake pedal and then switch gears. When parking normally, always make sure the vehicle comes to a complete stop before shifting into P gear, otherwise it is easy to encounter this situation where the P gear cannot be pulled.
