I can't shift into park.

[WH1Driver]

I have hooked up my transmission to my rebuilt motor. I have no floor shifter as yet so I'm using the shift linkage at the column. I can't adjust the linkage so that it will shift all the way up into park. Does anyone have any suggestions has how I can fix this. I have consulted the service manuals I have and they say to set both transmittion and column to neutral and set the linkage. However the column as no specific indent for the gears it just has play. Thanks for any help you guys can provide. Regards, Nathan

On the driver's side, under the car there is a rod that runs from the column (under the hood) to the linkage on the trans. On the bottom (near the linkage) the rod runs through a bracket with a set screw (bolt actually). Loosen it and adjust the rod.

Yes, I've played with that adjustment. I have even pushed up on the rod while underneath the car adjusting the linkage and even then I can't push the rod up enough to shift the tranny into park. Anymore suggestions?
