its ok now i found the info
It is the shift cable. It just needs adjusted. You need a 15/16 wrench and vice grips. Fung fu grip the center console off the car. Put it in neutral. Then put the vice grips just behind the nut, on the metal. Back off one of the nuts a little, then tighten the other side. It will move the cable inside. Then put it from neutral to reverse and back to neutral and back to drive. The distance between R-N and N-D should be the same. The letters should light up at same distance I mean. If it isnt, go the other direction. If you are not comfortable doing that, have someone else do it. But it is just an adjustment.
