Hi evrybody, is someone out there had a problem with the shifter that
won't go on PARK position on an automatic trans on a 93. I have this
problem and i'm thinking if it's just the cable adjustement or
anything else. And is it something i can fix by myself.
Thanks folks.
I know from experience that the shifter cable can easily be damaged. Has
anyone worked on the van prior to you noticing the problem?
You can test the cable but it is a BIG pain to unhook it. Follow it from
under the van to the transmission. On top of the tranny it is attached to a
short lever. If you can reach in somehow and remove the clip from the
attachment--disconnecting the cable--you can check if it moves freely. You
should also be able to shift the transmission by moving the lever. If you
can move the lever into the Park position, then it is the cable.
Are the other gears ok? Look down at the shifter and put the van in "D".
Does it say "D" on the shifter? You can also take the plastic trim off
around the shifter inside the van (I think you remove 4 screws). There you
will find a screw for adjusting the cable.
Hope it is something simple and not a transmission problem. I bent my cable
when I installed a new transmission. Parts of the cable are an aluminum rod,
which bends easily.
Good luck
