318 LA rebuild after losing a valve seat

Yes U need to remove the tail housing to access the Park rod. Can u feel it wanting to come out of park when u move the linkage? Kim
Kinda sorta? It’s a little tougher coming out of park and into reverse. Like if I don’t finesse it a little, I might skip over reverse from the force taken to get it out of park.

I did try rocking it back and forth, although it was just me in the driver seat with a foot on the ground. I’ll try getting behind the car and putting a little more *** into it. (Don’t worry, I have wheel chocks!) I’ll just set them so the car has a little room to roll.
