When cold, AOD won't shift into Park
With the cooler fall weather, I have been experiencing a problem with the shifter of the AOD. In the morning, usually in the 60s and below, I can shift normally. But a few minutes later when I stop at the local convenience store for the morning coffee and when I attempt to shift to Park and it will not allow me to. It will shift into all the other gears. It is as if there is a lockout that is stuck, and the 'lockout' button on the left side of the shifter feels normal. By the time I reach work, 30 minutes later, I have no problem shifting into Park.
If temps stay above 60 I don't have this problem. It shifts into Park without a problem.
Is there a mechanical 'lockout' that needs to be lubed or is this a problem inside the AOD. If there is a lockout where is it?

Sorry for the late reply....but....
No, the button on the shifter is the only real "lockout" on there. The handle slides a cable back and forth and at the end of the cable is just a lever on the trans which slides a piece back and forth in the valve body. There really isn't anything that is temperature sensative...especially at those temps....to make anything freeze up or lock up.
