You need to check the cable for adjustment or damage.

Subject: Auto Shifter weirdness

My 1987 Wolfsburg Vanagon has been running great as my primary
transportation but now is suffering from a malady. I hope you guys can throw
some light on it. Its an auto and the shifter has been fine until now but
now when I move from Park to Reverse the gearshift is pointing to Neutral
and when I shift to Drive its pointing to almost '2'. This is very
disconcerting after it pointing to the correct position for years, I keep
thinking I'm in the wrong gear. Is this something that is easily fixed or is
it a portend of more serious issues to come.
