Thank's ...mmr

The shifter linkage may need adjusting. If that is fine then the park pawl is worn, or the lugs on the ring gear are worn. If this is the case, the pawl and lugs are likely worn together and should be changed as a pair.

how many miles does it have on it
if they're really up there like 150-200 thousand then you should have the transmission overhauld it could be slipping because of the clutches and the gear selector swith being gumed up by burnt fluid and clutch material
