Having shift problems with my automatic GT. I replaced the BOO switch and it didn't correct the shifter being stuck in park. I seem to have to push the stick all the way forward and squeeze the button very hard in order to get it to release and even then it sometimes doesn't work. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated....

The shifter may need a little adjustment. Under the car, you will find a linkage. The retaining bolt can be loosened so that the shifter can be moved forward or backward until it is "just right". This adjusting is best done with a buddy or you will make a lot of trips under the car.
edit: You're looking for the manual lever position sensor (MLPS). It connects the lever to the trans and there is a small electrical connector on one side. The older T-Birds had frequent problems with the MLPS.
