1994 Nissan Altima GXE with auto trans. Engine and transmission are running great. No problems. Just replaced the shocks/struts and motor/trans mounts (also sway bar end links, etc.). Car has been maintained and is driving fine.
The problem is, occasionally it feels a bit tighter shifting the gear lever into PARK. When it's harder/stiffer, I usually have a problem starting the car unless I jiggle the gear shift level (gear selector) in the forward position. After forcing the lever into the park position a few times, the car usually starts without issue. Today was the first day it took more than one attempt to start the car after messing with the shift lever.
Any ideas on what could be going on? All other gears (including reverse) do not seem to have an issue.
I've ordered a replacement shifter cable bushing just in case.
Am I on the right track?
Thanks.
