Unhappy Lost Park

I did a bad thing. I was in 4H on a paved road. I realized it, pulled over, put the transmission in park and dropped the transfer case back to 2W. POP! Whatever a "Park" is is now gone. Vehicle rolls freely in park. It's basicly another neutral. How hard is this going to be to fix?
Vehicle is a 1985 E-350 van w/460. Unknown transmission at this time. Does not have overdrive that I am aware of. Top and bottom are clearly marked with lucky number "13". Door jam might say C3.

I do not KNOW the answer to your question, but I am pretty sure it is the parking Pawl, kind of like a ratchet, and I am pretty sure it is internal to the tranny. Never had one fail so not sure how hard it is to repair.

Good Luck,

Jim Henderson

Given this thread, I'm thinking is a C-6 tranny. The pan does have 17 bolts and this shape.
