904 cable shift stuck in Park

No, the sleeve and spring are installed correctly, the coil with the washer holds the pawl and the tail of the spring sort of wraps around one leg if the pawl to keep it in position. The sleeve just drops down a tad, just enough to slide the housing over it.
I've bought a lot of stuff from Pat Blais over the years, in fact he gave me the lead on the nice shiny cables I was installing.
I have an email in to him but he's been on vacation and and now may have taken an extended 4th weekend. Or else he's just sick of me (hehe).
