Default Cant shift lever to Park

Hi

I just purchased a 2007 mini with automatic transmission. Everything was working fine until I did an emission test to it. When I went home from the emission test I could not put the gear to Park Mode. It can go to Neutral, Drive and Reverse but for some reason it will not shift into Park Mode? I have no idea what's happening and would appreciate your expert advise. I have no other choice but to park in neutral.

Thanks very much in advance for your support.

Its it and automatic , its could be the lug base or the cable going to the top of the transmission ? Have you inspected either ? You have to make sure also that your foot is on the brake pedal while you do it , switching into park.

thanks

Thanks for your reply. yes its automatic. No I havent inspected inside the hood yet Im assuming its an electrical issue. Yes Im fully aware to depress the bake when shifting levers.

Yea, I would inspect that cable going on top of the transmission first, then see if its the electrical selector on the side of the shifter that selects the gear.
