Default 96 tranny won't shift into park

I had to change the pan gasket on the tranny. no problem done in 30 minutes. put the cable bracket back on and adjusted the linkage. It worked for a shift or 2 then would not go to Park. No problem I just readjusted it. same thing. Everything is in free and works fine. The cable is attached on both ends. I can go under and push it into park easily. What on earth am I missing? Any help would be awesome.

Is the adjustment holding? Have you tried taking it one click further than you have it now?

yes, the adjustment is holding.....i thought perhaps it was slipping also....but unfortunatelty it is holding....I have evengone to the steering column to see if there is something wrong there.....and yes i tried moving it all through the adhustment range....excellent ideas though......idk

same problem with mine
is it possible the cable bad?
could the body shift that much to make it not shift?
no park or L-1
can do it at the trans but not by the shifter

Default found it!!

I finally figured out my problem...the floor board on the cab had a factory small hole that allowed water in under the carpet and insulation and it rotted the cable houseing to where it finally broke the cable sheild.
I went to the junk yard and found one today for 35,00 bucks because they took it off.He said it would have been 10.00 if I did it ! I was in a suit and at lunch. Well im off to replace it now
