Tanner Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has had a similar problem to mine, when I go to shift into park sometimes it will lock in, and others there is a loud pop and then the truck starts to roll. any suggested fix?

HOrnbrod Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Adjust the shift cable. Floor or column shift? http://www.lunghd.com/Tech_Articles/Transmission_and_Transfer_Case/Transmission_Automatic_Shifter_Adjustments.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanner Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 column shift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 column shift Then only the top procedure on the link I provided applies. Unlike the floor shift, the column shift has only one cable that does the gear shifting and PARK interlock. Before trying to adjust the cable and possibly breaking the 20+ year old plastic pieces, pull the shift cable off the trans lever by removing the two bracket screws. Then put the gear selector in PARK (make sure the detent clicks in), then bolt the bracket back on and eyeball how close the cable end hole is to the lever stud. This will tell you how much (if any) adjustment is needed. A broken parking pawl detent spring can also cause the tranny intermittent PARK engagement.........

HOrnbrod Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Pretty sure you have to drop the pan and the valve body to get to it, but I haven't done it.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanner Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 okay, thanks for the help guys. I checked the shift cable, the teeth on the plastic clip that connects to the transmission won't hold, so I guess I will need to replace the shift cable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
