Who needs park anyways?

[Dodge69_440]

Ok so I broke my e-brake a few months ago.  Being the procrastinator I am I neglected to fix it.  I keep my car parked for weeks at a time on my driveway which is a hill.  I always chalked all four weels, but now my park simply doesn't work.  It shifts into every gear fine, but when it's in P it just rolls.  I hope I didn't shear the parking pin, any other ideas/solutions?  Also, does anyone know where I can get a new e-brake pronto?  I really want to make it out to the fall fling tomorrow in LA.

Ok turns out fall fling is only today, crap.  Guess I'll have to wait till spring.  Anyways the problem remains.

So what broke? Was it the cable at some point? What it a bracket? Or what?

I usualy look through The Paddock b/c they're not in GA.... I am in GA and so is Year One, which means the unfortanate sales tax.... Dang it. Anyway, I posted these links for use as either a guide line, or place to get these items, or what ever. As for the tran's, don't know what to tell you, I'm not a transmission guy. When ever I have questions, I turn to these guys, too bad CRT doesn't appear to be around any more.

no you dont.  you can pull your rear tailshaft housing if it is the parking lever mechanism that is causing your problem. 

Check this first. Make sure that your park is not being engaged due to the shifter not being adjusted correctly, thus not causing the parking rod to seat properly?

If you ahd gone yesterday you would have gotten an e-brake too....lol  They were selling them left and right!

   If you're sure the linkage is right, I would think it probably came loose at the valve body although I can't recall how it connects to the shift lever. I've never heard of one breaking but I'm sure it could happen. Just remove the pan and the shift and kickdown levers, then unbolt the valve body. From there you should see everything you need to see.

Disconnect the shifter from the transmission shift lever and operate the lever by hand. The lever should move positively between the detents (clicks), if there is any slop in the lever between detents the shift shaft has come loose from the roostercomb and won't shift the internal rod into Park.

Ok I'm starting at the steering column because the problem started when my shifter fell off.  The only problem is the part with the P R N D won't come off.  It's held in by some sort of rubber grommet thing.  I can push it back, but it will not come all the way out.  I've been yanking on it, but that never solves anything. Thanks.

Ok I got the stupid snap ring off and it still won't budge, what's up?

[Dodge69_440]

The upper bearing is the only thing keeping the housing in place.  The damn thing won't move at all and I can't fit a puller in there, keep in mind the snap ring has been removed along with everything else.  I'm about to say screw it and make it my mechanics problem.  I would like to drive her before I go back to school though.

Wish I could help ya, but without seeing it... This also another reason why I like my shifters on the floor...
