Saw a post earlier with this same problem. The poster thought the shift cable needed lubed. I don't think this is the problem. The shift lever can be moved from and into park, but it takes a huge amount of effort. I have checked the shift interlock solenoid and the shift mechanism, both are free and working properly. When disconnected from the shift lever the cable seems to be free untill just before it reaches the park position. Does this transmission have a history of problems with the park pawl? (Does it even use one?) I have worked on Ford and Chevy transmissions, but never a Honda. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance. Mike
