Will not shift to park

Ford Ranger More than two decades ago, the Ford Ranger debuted as an answer to various compact pickup trucks being made available by Japanese automakers. The Ranger was cleanly styled and offered with a choice of a 6-foot or 7-foot bed. Ford boasted that the Ranger had more interior room than the best-selling imports and that 4-by-8-foot construction material could be carried in the bed.

Will not shift to park

My '96 Ranger, Auto transmission, ext. cab with 105,000 miles will no longer shift into park.
I can move the lever on the transmission and get into park, but the gearshift lever doesn't seem to travel far enough to reach park. When I turn off the engine, I'm in reverse.
I've removed the lower dash, including the steel shield, and I see the adjustment, but no joy.
What do I need to do to get park back?
Thanks.
