940 auto trans won't shift into park ?

Post by alpineturbodriver »

I have to start my 940 while in neutral or else the car will begin to drive in reverse! The park position is actually reverse and it won't shift into park at all. It seams like the linkage is out or ? Has anyone ever heard of this and what can I do about it ?
