Brandon, you can do this yourself. You will not only save money but save the Pat from some idiot who knows nothing about it. Drain the transmission pan into a clean container and save the fluid. Jack the car up and slip some jackstands under the frame just about where the front door meets the fender. Remove the pan bolts and drop the pan carefully so as to not damage the gasket. Have someone shift the trans from above and watch the linkage inside the tranny. You can see the parking pawl and whether it engages the park gear. It may not because it doessn't have enough travel. You will need to eventuaally buy a shop manual and parts book. The pair will set you back about $100.00.
