I pulled into driveway, parked, got out to open gate, pulled in went to put it into Park and all of a sudden I heard this loud clicking/grinding noise coming from either in front of me or below me I guess and I had P would not engage (it would roll forward). I then tried putting it into Reverse...no noises, but continued to roll forward. When I shifted into Drive it felt like that took hold, I couldn't test it much as I was already about 2ft from a wall, but I'm pretty sure it works.
I guess the only other background info I can think of is ever since I bought it about a year ago or so is that it doesn't always know it's in Park when I go to start vehicle I get nothing, unless I hold the shifter way up into Park.
I can see the torque bolts from pictures I've found here up under the dash on the shifter and they are solid (by hand). I guess I'm just looking for the right terminology of what to search for, like do I gotta look up about this transfer case and parking pawl or something?
At least its in my driveway and I don't need to go to work until Tuesday! lol
