what must I do if I do not have a transmission problem, but when I put the vehicle in park it sometimes slips and runs back or runs forward depending on the slope, and if I need to replace a part what is the name of that part?

The sprag gear is what holds the vehicle still when in park. It is in the rear of the transmission. However, I have never seen one go bad unless someone placed it in park while moving.

I would start by making sure the linkage to the trans is working properly.

Let me know what you find.
