Angry Re: Trans won't go back to park, cable slack

Took the pan off to look at the flex spring. It was seated properly. With the spring removed, the shift lever moved freely up to the PARK position, at this point it positions a feedback rod at the back of the case that displaces another small lever that I think has to do with the PARK safety switch or something under the servo. There is only slightly more effort needed to go all the way into PARK at this point. I don't see anything other than the last, bigger hump on the selector lever. The shift cable actually bends when it gets to PARK but it is only a cable trying to push the lever. I was thinking the flex spring would do more to bring the lever back to PARK but it don't seem to. I wish I knew what was going on here. Is there a tranny specialist out there anywhere? Surely this has happened before. HELP????!!!! I'm attaching pictures in the hopes that someone can recognize what's going on and to help understand my rambling. The first is the cable bent as it tries to go to PARK. I can pinch the point where the cable is swagged to the stiff part and it goes all the way to park. The second is my thumb on the PARK hump and finger on the Rev hump. The third is the cable and lever in PARK as it should be.
