94 E320 Won't Start in Park
 

Weird, this morning my car wouldn't start. As usual transmission was in Park. I tought the battery or the starter were gone. Checked the battery and got 12.6V, so I thought the starter was gone. However, to my surprise with the transmission in Neutral, it starts OK. I tried again on Park, and nothing. On Neutral starts fine.

Could anyone in the Forum explain me what is going on, and how to have it back starting in Park?

how loose are your shifter linkages?

I really don't know. Two months ago I had the transmission removed to replace a leaking rear crankshaft seal (after 190,000 miles). After the repair, the car was starting normally in Park. Maybe something got loose there. I'll stop by the shop tomorrow.
Thank you!!

usually this points to the neutral safety switch
