2000 F250 will not shift into park

Has anyone else had the shift lever get a bit slack on them and won't go all the way over to park?

We have another 250 of the same era in pieces in the shop and I was looking at the column, there is a pin that engages the shift lever to the column and it might have worn a hole into a slot, or it's wear somewhere down the line to where the little teeth are that hold the column in each gear. Anyhow I thought I'd ask before really getting into things to avoid dead ends. I'm guessing this is a common problem. The truck only has 140K miles on it so it's an early wear item it seems.

There is an adjustment in the steering column. Had my 2001 repaired at the dealer. Very common problem. I know it's not much help.

If you are member at Ford-Trucks.com I'm sure you'll get the correct info there.
