    I had a similar problem for awhile. It turned out to be a bad shifter cable. The shifter cable, which runs from the shifter in the console, through the firewall, and to the transmission, was binding up inside. I could force the shifter (very hard) into drive. But when I would force it back into park, it would throw off the gear indicator. Then when I went to start next time, it would think it was in R, but was really in Park. I replaced the shifter cable and readjusted the linkage and it has been fine ever since.

    i took it to a shop and they siad it had to do something with the tranny. The linkage from the tranny is really stiff. Which i think caused my cable to break or not work as it should. What would cause the tranny linkage to be so stiff??
