Hi,

The truck has a shift cable that is adjustable. I'm not sure if you have already checked it, but you may want to see if it is an adjustment issue.

If you look below, I attached the directions for adjusting the cable. Take a look through them and let me know if you are comfortable performing the procedure or if you have already done it.

Let me know.

Take care,

Joe
