Hello everyone. My 89 has always had the cable slightly out of adjustment... ie when in park it didn't quite go in park all the way, so it would roll. I would just use the parking brake. She sat for a couple weeks and I got in her last night, and now it won't even "reach" reverse. She will actually start in gear, and take off right away. Do I need a new cable? Or is something else wrong? It seems odd to me that just sitting parked something would change so drasticly. Any help would be appreciated. I checked the old threads and didn't find any similar info Thanks folks, Craig

Hmm I think the first thing I would check is to see if there is any problem with the cable backet down on the pan.

There is a threaded adjustment on the outer cable at the trans end that may help you. Trans should not start in gear ; need to check inhibitor switch mounted on shifter mech under console.

Sounds like two issues.
