Ray,

Have you removed the shifter recently and reinstalled? Check this first to see if it has moved from its "normal" position. Are you feeling all the six detents (P, R, N, D, S & L) when you shift? Try the shifter inside, which seems to be working. Then try moving the linkage attach point (with the linkage removed) through the sequence to ensure all six rests are there. Then shift both to the D position as your FSM suggests and adjust the shift linkage to the correct length as Ron wrote, hopefully you have enough to add the 1/2" of length.

Harold.

P.S.: To put me through universty, I worked in a GM plant that made THM350s (TurboHydraMatic transmissions for V8s with rear wheel drive) like that in Ron's Monza.
