HELP!!!

My 2001 Dakota Sport Club Cab AWD won't shift out of Park.

Noticed a few times recently that the column shift handle seemed a bit
hard to move the odd time.

This morning, on a friends level driveway, when I went to leave I couldn't
move
the column shift out of the Park position.

Since I was also blocking his vehicle in his driveway I finally crawled
under
the Dakota and popped the shift linkage off of the transmission lever, moved
this
lever by hand andwe pushed it out of his driveway.

I'm told that there is a solenoid somewhere in the column that releases the
shift
lever from a signal from the brake pedal? Brake lights are working fine.

Any troubleshooting/repair help on this greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Fred
