Have apartner to move the gear shift lever through the gears while you watch the shift linkage underhood where it connects to the transmission (almost directly below the brake booster but, on the transmission). It should move from one extreme [towards the front of the vehicle] (park), to the other extreme [towards the firewall] (D1).
If so the linkage is correctly adjusted. Suspect the gear selector module (the black plastic part on the transmission that the shift linkage bolts to--it has two set of wires plugged into it)
