Hello everyone I am a new member here but have lingered for info for quite some time now. My truck is a 97 Mazda b4000 se with the 5 speed auto trans. It is having major problems going into Park. I already had this problem. When I bought the truck due to the usual broken cast clip that holds the shift tube down. I fixed that and have drove it for about another 6 months and it is doing it again. I pulled the column apart and the clips are tight and everything is tight shifter wise. I checked the torqs head bolts that hold the shift bracket to the tube and those are all fine. My shifter cable did have a guiding bracket in the wheel well broken but I fastened the cable and am sure that is not the cause of my problem. What happens is I push the gear selector up to the park position and let off the brake. The truck comes out of reverse but rolls, and when it rolls I can hear the park gear going click click click click click like it is not fully engaging and popping out. I then repeatedly jarred the gear shifter upwards and park grabbed but when I do this it will not let me take the key out of the ignition. Before jarring the gear shifter I could go under the truck and make the gear lever on the trans go into Park fully. If I jar the gear shifter up I cannot move the gear lever assuming it is all the way in park in that scenario. I am stumped at what is causing this, it started last night just out of nowhere. In the jarred or Un jarred scenario it will not let me start the truck in park. HELP ME PLEASE!!!!
