727 experts? Need help

I'll have to remember that, because apparently it wouldn't go into park because the lever was hitting the manual valve and stopping the comb from traveling all the way into the park position. (or park would have worked but the trans wouldn't shift into or out of gears)
It would have been stuck in whatever position the valve happened to be in. (possibly even destructively between gears)

Glad it was an easy fix.

It was nice to have someone give diagnostic information and follow through with the suggested diagnosing, :D
Good job.
