Have you played with the cable adjustment right where it attaches to the trans. You can pull the plastic clip and adjust the length then put the clip back in.

take the cable off and manually put the trans lever all the way forward and see if it locks in park, if it doesn't,it's a transmission problem,if it does it's a cable problem, THANKS

Make sure when you put it on, or adjust it, that both the transmission and the shifter are in neutral. If it's a new cable, that's probably all it is.

Oh come on now I'm sure he did that.

On a side note though when I had the front propshaft out of my typhoon to do a burnout it would roll in park.
