With the push button shifter in reverse, there is still some travel left in the cable mechanism. I've wondered if a second cable attached to a lever under the dash could be used pull/push the cable on the shifter/trans into the park position. Something that when released would give the shifter enough slack to operate normally.

i have wondered the same thing, as i plan on using this transmission in my humpback project with a raised box on the driveshaft tunnel. with the stories about imperial services making me somewhat leery of sending in my shifter assembly for modification, i figure if they could come up with a modification that would work, i believe i can too. but i am a way from getting into that part of the build. however, i do keep my eyes and ears alert for ideas to make this happen.

Imp services does not have the greatest rep and they are not currently offering a cable. I had not heard that they had a conversion that added park though, just the cable that adapted the buttons to the newer trans.

A&A sells the cable to just run the Push buttons with the newer trans with stock functionality.
