Transmission / Overdrive: no park in my new '52 Commander

[thom]

I just discovered that when the lever and indicator is in the PARK position on my '52 Commander, it still rolls. I hope the linkage is just out of adjustment and nothing is broken. Should I be able to feel or hear PARK engage with the engine off and no other noises going on around me?

Linkage may be out of adjustment; but, more than likely the park pall is broken.
They are available.

Broken Park pawl is very common on those. My 51 has the same problem

What is involved in the fix?

don't under-estimate sagging, rubber, engine biscuits.....

What is involved in the fix?

Purchase part # 529840 and have it installed. But confirm diagnoses first.

Hi Brad, when you open that Website do you get Part Numbers and Prices?
All I get is a lot of Pictures and only those with a Numbered Package can be identified.
I downsized it all the way smallest (30%) and still nothing but white empty boxes & Pic at the right.

I think it is my Firefox is blocking "Content" but I have tried several settings with no luck after a restart.
It's doing the same thing to eBay, after I got rid of that those information grabbers at Google Chrome and went to Firefox.

It's Roscoe Stelfords page and shows up with part #s, descriptions, prices and images.
And I've been using Firefox for years.
