I think you need to wait longer than 20 minutes for a reply, this place ain't a chat room.

I've heard about this issue before, you might want to search through some older threads if you can't wait for an answer.

 

sorry thread police

 

Your shift cable need to be adjusted at the tranny, very easy to do.

 

There is an adjuster wheel at the column. You need to remove the upper instrument panel steering column cover. That is the cover that is shaped like a big upside down U. If you look past the 4 way flasher button you will see some rubber and the cover. Place the shift lever in 1 and pull the cover to unclip it. Under this panel you will find the adjuster wheel. Place the shift lever in D and center the indicator using the wheel. They say to hang a 3 lbs weight on the shift lever but you can just pull it straight down. Do not pull it towards you or it will move into 2 or 1.
