I would say: "Yes"

Good luck,

Re: 92 Accord hard to shift in and out of park

I don't think it's the cable. Probably, the park mechanism (inside the transaxle) is stucked inside. It's very hard to repair. Or maybe the shift interlock doesn't open completely.

There's a way to check: Remove the TRS (transmission range sensor) from its shaft, and see if force still remain in the shifter. If so, then it's the shift interlock solenoid.

A Windstar without having the check engine light is not a real Windstar.

Re: 92 Accord hard to shift in and out of park

A lotta floor shift automatics get real hard to move the shifter simply from something sticky going down the slot around the shifter too. I've seen some you needed two hands to move the shifter, simply because someone dumped a few sodas or coffee on them...that stuff dries up HARD over time. If there's any sticky residue around that slider that moves with the shifter (the part that covers the slot the shifter moves in), that may be your issue. A simple warm water and soap clean up will take care of it. Be sire the run it all the way down to L1 and clean the whole thing...

Also make sure the shift detent button is moving freely.

I was just thinking...there's that slot on the shifter that you put the key in to bypass the shift interlock solenoid....wouldn't doing that and trying it tell you if it was the interlock causing the problem?

Re: 92 Accord hard to shift in and out of park

If he doesn't put the key in, he'll not be able to move the shifter from/to park at all.
He's able, but it's hard. It's why I said maybe it doesn't open completely, but it opens.
