I don't have a good answer for what battery to use.

Getting the car out of park has to do with the shift lock system. Check that your brake lights are working, because the brake switch in part of that circuit.

No but it's quite common & really easy for you to check.

About the battery: I would just look for a premium battery. i wouldn't waste my money on Optima or Interstate. I'm a fan of Duralast at Autozone. They have a "gold" yellow top battery that is probaly good.

You should think about doing a "big 3" upgrade. You might not even need to get another battery.

The switch is up near the pivot & shown in the picture as #3. Check for easy stuff like the wire being unplugged.


Then... Press the brake pedal & listen for a click near the base of the shift lever. If it clicks & the lever remains locked, then we can look down there for problems.
