The Monte. This was a long time ago and it's putting out less now for sure.

that's likely what's causing your issues. that solenoid can fail, happened on my 03 GTP. Does it have a neutral release? If it does try pushing it down and see if it will come out of park. that solenoid has a little plastic disc on it that comes out, and pulls a rod that releases the interlock, when you push the emergency park release, its just manually releasing it. not a super bad part to replace if you end up having to, just not sure about finding one.

No shift release and rocking doesn't help.

I can't remember but do 1st gen cars have the shift lock release like 2nd gen cars do? If so you could try that. If not that solenoid might actually be bad. If I recall something about the brake light switch can cause the car to remain in park. I had that issues on my CSC. If the car was parked on an incline I would try rocking the car back and forth a bit then try to get it out of park.
