Hi guys,

So I test drove a 2001 R/T today. After the test drive I stopped and shifted the car into "park". The P on the dash didn't immediately light up. I took my foot off the brake and it seemed to be in gear. I fiddled with the shifter put it into "R" then back to park and eventually the "P" lit up. I moved the shifter while in park just a bit and the "P" came on. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Hi,
Mine kinda does this too. Even going into some gears I get the light for D, but its not actually in D.
There is a cable adjuster lock near the Brake Booster. If you google "Transmission shift linkage adjustment" you may get more info on it. Ones I found are on other forums. May.be able to also pick up the adjustment procedure in a Haynes manual.
