Default Transmission Position Sensor

I have a 1993 Dakota 5.2 two wheel drive and it is having trouble starting without jimmying around the shifter to try to get it in park anyone have any ideas how to fix this? I already adjusted the linkage where it enters the tranny
Thank You
Jeff

What kind of shape are the bushings for the shift linkage?

Some are still available as Mopar parts; some can be used from Dorman; you can rebuild and replace all the nylon (or "plastic") bushings in the system.

Neutral safety switch may be failing as well.
