In my 1997 Ford F-150 4.6 ltr. Auto transmission I have been having some issues in the past couple of months with selecting drive or reverse with my gear shift. Also the vehicle was not starting on occasion because the shifter wasn't all the way in park. When you shove it in park it would work, I figured I was going to be replacing the transmission soon. Tonight the truck will not go in park and I am having to start the engine in neutral and keep the emergency break on. This can be a very dangerous problem because if the emergency break is not on or fails then it could cause damage. I have not yet fixed the problem but will have it done tomorrow!
