I've seen this question asked a couple times, and when Toys were involved, part of the answer was to see if the brake lights worked. If not, the answer was a blown brake light fuse or bad brake light switch. Again, this answer is based on others who have posted the problem. Couldn't hurt to check, but personally, I didn't think the "mechanics" of the gear shifter could be affected by the electronics of the vehicle.
