Dodge Dart shifting

I just got a 68 Dodge Dart 340 (5.6 L) V8 with automatic trans. When I try to put it in park, sometimes it goes into 'R' instead. I have to push the shifter all the way forward and giggle it a little for it to stay in 'P' (and for the shifter button to pop up). Is this a trans problem I can fix myself or should I take it in? (this is my first classic and I only know the basic stuff like tune ups, replacing a heater core, etc)

Hi:
It sounds like there is a problem with the linkage from the shifter to the trans. Check for steel linkage going to the trans under the vehicle. Next, check for areas which are sticking or too loose (worn out).

It may just need lubericated, or bushings may need replaced.
