Answer
Julian: Did you fix the car yourself or did you have a shop do this work? As it sounds like something was not hooked up right. I would take it back to the shop that did the work and have them look at this. If a shop did the work. If you did it, you need to go back over the transmission because my guess would be it that something is not hooked up or put together right. Ok, checked with my repair manual... it says the lock pin or interlock pin is missing. It also said that you should have a shop check this because it is beyond the the scope of the home mechanic. So take the car to a shop and have them check this. Or if a shop did the work for you, take it back to that shop and get them to fix it right for you. You paid for the bill and you have a right to have your car fixed right. Hope this helps and good luck! Linda
