Transmission will not engage in to park. It will start in park, but the transmission will not engage. I have to use the emergency brake.
Do you
have the same problem?

Hi JASON,

It sounds like the transmission's parking pin is broken or the cable is out of adjustment, please have someone move the gear shifter and watch the sector move on the drivers side of the transmission, then by hand try to push it further to see if the transmission goes into park. If not, remove the transmission pan and have someone move the gear shiftier so you can watch to see what happens. Let me know

Best, Ken
