Drivetrain Tech / shifter lock-out, 85 XR7, R-N-D only, not Park
Ok.  I made that assumption.  It's gotta lean toward the C3, not the C5, I suppose.  It's certainly a light-duty trans.

What is the factory auto trans behind an 85 2.3T?  Is it the C3?

thanks for the clarification

Drivetrain Tech / A4LD shifter lock-out problem
thanks for the reply.  I will certainly go pull the shifter handle and take a look.  I was wondering how that shifter  was removed.  I didn't see a hex set-screw.

If that little plastic  is indeed broken off, I would appreciate anyone making mention of a replacement parts source.  If not, I can make anything.

Cheers!

Gentlemen:

Thank you for your time.  I have been searching forum archives for this question, but have not succeeded so far. 

I have the 85 Cougar XR7, with the A4LD auto trans.  The shifter began locking "out", allowing me only R-N-D.  I cannot get the shifter up into Park. 

Is the dysfunction IN the shifter or is it over in the steering column?  I have been searching for awhile for this problem.  I ran across someone mentioning a difficulty in the column with these models.  I have lost that link.

If anyone has experience with this difficulty, could you share a link or explain what is going wrong?

much obliged,
