I was just joking about the positions and park. It all came from my Tech conversation this afternoon. The guy was telling me left and right vs. passenger/driverside, which deteriorated as we started talking about how to connect the new shift linkage and what direction the rotation of the linkage from 12 o'clock would be. In the end I was so spun around I couldn't remember where park was. But as you stated, it rolls in neutral, and by counting clicks you can find park. Sorry for my sarcasm, I was just frustrated with the instructions in this kit. Fortunately it's fairly straight forward once you delved in.
