When I put my automatic transmission into park it will not lock the pin into park position without the whole car pulling the drive shaft into a resting position. Been doing this for a year or so now, maybe some kind of spring is loose, but have been having problems with the shifting, its been shifting hard and not downshifting quick enough when applying the brake, was wondering if anyone knew if the two issues were related or if I might need some serious service to fix these issues?

There is a pin that goes thru the shift cable that is falling out. The next thing that will happen is the key will get stuck in the ignition. I took the plastic off of the sides of the console you will see a black plastic frame with holes in it I cut a larger hole between 2 of the small holes with a hack saw on the driver side. Put the car in neutral seat all the way back pull on the shift button and you will see the pin pull it out with a pair of neelde nose pliers. I put 598 black loctite sealant on mine and reinstall. Shift back to park if you can get the key out and the doors unlock you have the pin in the right spot and it is making both switches when in park. It sticks out about a 1/2" on each side. Good luck

You can remove the interlock off the gear shift or maybe spray some crc on it otherwise probably a loose wire or switch

Also slight electrical problems, and I'm pretty sure that my transaxle is computer shift controlled, just wondering if this could be related to shifting?
