Shift Lever Dropping out of PARK

This is so important------ * * *
Re: "One of the other mechanics nearly got ran over when the car jumped into reverse" A very dangerous situation easilly fixed. ( 2 years ago a guy was was dragged to his death in Jacksonville Florida when the shift arm dropped out of park and he and the car went into his swiming pool. A friend with a 55 Bird had his shift lever drop into reverse. The open door was crunched against the garage door jam. ) The bottom of the shift lever ( the part inside the steering column) is worn out. A $35 replacement shift lever is readilly available. If shift lever EVER drops out of PARK position--park the car until the shift lever is replaced. Don't let anybody drive it including mechanics.
