I have just purchased this used car 10 months ago and I do not drive it very much-2nd car-but I had it on a trip last week and It wouldn't go out of park so I noticed a little circle and i used my finger nail and pushed down in this little circle and then I could move the gear into drive. I did this until I got home and It didn't come with manual.

sounds like u have a bad gear shifter cable ,check the cable at the gear box end ,if cable comes of link then u need a cable ,this happens as the cable gets old due to engine heat & cable connection end been plastic. post back after u check there is one more thing to check ,this part rarely goes bad .
