If its just hard to move the shifter then its the shifter cable, if it isn't engaging into any gears then it is low on fluid or has a clogged screen.

Once in gear it goes from, 1-2-D-N fine, only hard when trying to get into Reverse from Park while it is cold?

brilliant.... ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)
At any rate..when was your last service of the tranny? I would seriously reccomend a new filter and trans fluid. Low fluid can be a cause of these symtoms, but it can be any number of things. First things first...service is #1.

Motorcycles and airplanes. Might be time to get back in the Mustang game.

Yep, if you can push the button but the shifter doesn't move into place, then it's the thin cable located under the shifter console. my ol' 98 had that problem.

i think it's just mileage, my moms buick does that so you just have to sit there and let the car warm up for a bit and then it shifts fine once the car warms up a bit. If I were you I'm thinking T5 swap. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Well I just called my Dad But if I remember clearly, i believe he fixed it by removing something under the console that the cable was getting caught on. I don't know exactly what he took out, but it might of been the safety that keeps the car from being taken out of park at the wrong time.

I still don't know why this only occurred in the mornings, but it was ok after that.
