(see picture) This raised bump is usually worn down (like this one) and may need to have a bead of weld layered on it and dressed back up to factory specs. That is why you have to pull the shift lever back toward you to shift the transmission into the park position, to get the arm detent over that boss.

Thank you Leon! For years I have wondered why my pointer goes so far to left, now I find out I was doing it wrong. I'm going to try to readjust my shift rod today, and see how it works.
