89 bII xlt wont sit in park

[89bII]

ok here is the deal well when going out in the mornings to warm up my truck i would hit the gas to get it flowing an it wouldnt rev past 3000 rpm then one day i did it and the tires started spinning so i can pretty much drive it in park (not that i do) but it would i need sum help with that cuz i have almost hit a couple cars in parking lots starting it up.......... it is a 89 bronco 2 xlt with the 2.9 and auto trans 4x4 manual hubs and shifter in the floor

Just a suggestion, you probably shouldn't rev a cold engine that much. Over 3k on a cold engine? Not so bueno. Is it going forwards or backwards? When you put it in drive, does it shift normally?

Well, first off, an 89 should have the shifter on the column not the floor, mine was made in January of 89 and has column shift. Does it have the 2nd gen dash? It sounds to me like a swap job. I don't understand why it moves forward in park, the park pawl should stop it, but the A4LD service manual ( go to the auto trans section of the tech library and download it) lists "Creeping in neutral" as a condition, "Forward clutch failing to disengage" as a possible cause, and "Clean tranmission" as an action.

the 4wd shifter is in the floor and it goes foward and if i turn it off it will roll which ever way the hill is pointing... yes shifts fine only other problem with the truck is the hubs are bad

?? I'm confused man sorry. Yeah the floor shifter should be for the transfer case and the collumn shifter is the trans. I agree that reving a cold engine is not good at all.

My guess is that the trans linkage / cable needs to be adjusted a bit. Perhaps it's not totally going into park. My truck has this problem.

Even with a recall, the parts are more than likely going to be considered obsolete. Most Recalls have an "expiration" date. Still, best of luck to you!
