1997 Chevy Venture won't go into "Drive"... Sign In

Description: 1997 Chevy Venture minivan with 160k miles. When gear shift is put in "D", transmission does not engage, engine can rev (same as neutral). Transmission will engage when put in "1", "2" or "R" (not "3", "3" acts same as "D") Previous problem: cable from gear shift to transmission was broken. I changed it myself. Been working fine for over 1 year since repair. Any ideas? Could it be the cable again? Or is it something in the transmission.

If the shifter was misaligned then the reverse would be off as well. i.e. D being neutral would mean that going into N (neutral) would now be reverse. If that's not the case then the problem sounds like it lies in the valve body or shift solenoid.......
