    while my shifter says its in park I will shift from park to reverse to neutral to drive then back to park and still says my truck is in neutral when I put it in neutral says I am in Reverse so what kind of an adjustment do I need to make I’ve already tried to push the shifter linkage forward re-tighten the bolts still have the same problem when I shift through my Gears.

    Here’s the likely answer to your problem, though you will have to go to a dealer to have this one fixed.

    There was a recall a few years ago that addressed your exact problem. It is recall 09041. To quote the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), keeper of recalls and safety things:

    “Condition
    General Motors has decided that certain 2009 model year Buick Enclave; Chevrolet Cobalt, HHR, Malibu, Traverse; GMC Acadia; Pontiac G5, G6; and Saturn AURA and OUTLOOK vehicles fail to conform to Federal/Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 102 , “Transmission Shift Position Sequence, Starter Interlock, and Transmission Braking Effect”, and Standard 114, “Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention”. On some of these vehicles, the transmission shift cable adjustment clip may not be fully engaged. If the clip is not fully engaged, the shift lever and the actual position of the transmission gear may not match. With this condition, the driver could move the shifter to PARK and remove the ignition key, but the transmission gear may not be in PARK. The driver may not be able to restart the vehicle and the vehicle could roll away after the driver has exited the vehicle, resulting in a possible crash without prior warning.

    Correction
    Dealers are to inspect and ensure that the shift cable adjustment clip is fully engaged. In the event that the clip does not engage, the shift cable must be replaced.”

    This is a free fix so take your vehicle in and get the repair done.
