Hi Guys,

All help is appreciated in advanced.

I am looking at purchasing a 68 Firebird (I know its not a Camaro, but I owned two 69s in past so don't abuse me too hard) its a solid driver, but has a Turbo 350 or 400, I didn't have oppurtunity to check exactly which one.

When you put car in Park it still rolls. The shifter appears "in" park, as its all the way forward on the console. I am guessing this is likely a linkage issue, but maybe not. Its seems to shift fine...

Any other experiences, ideas or comments?

Searching for my next dream car...

It is also possible that the parking pawl is broke. Mine was on a '67 Camaro and I had to block the wheels everywhere I parked until I had it fixed.

What was the $$ damage or process on getting it fixed? Just trying to consider that in my total investment...

I had the whole trans rebuilt. It cost me $600.00 but it was built Hi-performance with Kevlar clutches and band and heat treated sprag. I don't think the little pawl costs much but you have to inside the trans to get to it. Best bet is to call a trans shop.

Thanks for the help...

I will check it out a little more closely and see if its a serious issue or not...

Some yrs ago when I rebuilt our trans, I made the mistake of putting the pawl wrong way or located incorrect.
To fix it basically ment starting from the front of the case, pull everything out in order, correct , then put everything back. EVERYTHING...its down at the bottom.
I would imagine , if it was broken, u would have other strange noises also??
