Shortened shift, swapped wires, new decals for the +-, and the U.K. Shifter. All work well except I can't get it into park. Is this because the shifter **** is not installed or something else?

If in S lever is not all the way to the gate you should readjust shifting cable.

S as Sport. Also D should be in the middle of Tiptronic gate.

Seems it was a bad solenoid on the shifter that wouldn't allow it to go in park. Swapped it out with the donor and is good. BTW, I have a shifter if anyone is contemplating on cutting one down. The bezel/sleeve from under the shift **** will be with it.
