Re: parking issue

If the cable is removed and the quadrant is placed into park directly at the transmission does the parking pawl engage properly? If so, it may be a worn or misadjusted cable. If not, there may be a problem in the transmission with the linkage. Most of the mechanism can be observed by removing the transmission oil pan.

Re: parking issue

juego en inglès es "play" o "slop" o "lash."

If the cable gets disconnected you should be able to verify that. If it is the cable, you may find in the process of disconnecting it that the anchor point or adjustments are loose.

Re: parking issue

it is possible that the cable is stretched, it has grown?

Re: parking issue

It is possible the cable has stretched, and if so can be adjusted. Again, working near the transmission it should be easy to determine that.
