Hello, last year I parked in the garage my XJS 6.0 v!" from 1995. Now I can start engine normally, but impossible to change gear. Can anybody help?? Is it mechanical or electic block?
I tried to open console, but do not see anything.

Rock the car back and forth, like you are trying to roll it. Release the handbrake first.
It's most likely the "Gear Shift Interlock". It prevents you from shifting into gear if you don't step on the Brake Pedal first. The Brake Light Switch is not making the connection when you step on the brake (prior to shifting out of Park). Try tapping the Brake Pedal or tapping it sideways a few times. If the switch is completely gone and you need to move the car, try this fix.
