Default Transmission/ Ignition problem
A new problem has just occurred, my Cherokee will no longer start in park, I have to shift it into neutral to start it, or I have to slam it into park hard for it to turn over. It runs great still and there is nothing else wrong with it. Does anyone have any suggestions of fixes to my problem.

Thanks

Just be careful when pulling it off, it can be quite troublesome.
