[QUOTE="Kevin Palmer, post: 925684, member: 54263"] The park pin / pawl is basically a spring loaded shaft that will engage into one of many grooves to hold the vehicle in park. If you happen to put it into park and it is not in one of the groves, once the vehicle moves a SMALL amount it "should" snap into place. I am talking like inches, not much movement is needed. You could have a sheered pin, weak spring, or be out of adjustment, (meaning the shifter itself). The pin is designed this way so that, if you were to shove it into park while going fast, it simply clicks and will not engage until the speed is slow enough to allow it to go into the grove and stop the vehicle and NOT break anything in the process...
