the only potential problem if you dont fix it is that one day you will be in a hurry to park and exit the car and you will not realise that the trans did not go into park with the resulting nasty implications.of less consequence is the day you get in and find that neither park or neutral line up with the safety switch and it won't start.this can be overcome by moving shift lever around while you turn the key.[not recommended for swift getaways while robbing banks] but to answer your question no other harm will occur to car. david poole european performance dallas tx.
