The parking pawl on my coach has started to slip when I put the transmission into park. If the coach rolls slightly forward or backwards, the pawl will not hold it in place. It just makes a clunking sound until I apply the brakes. So I have a few questions.

1. Can the slippage be caused by something being out of adjustment?
2. If I need to replace the pawl, does the transmission need to be dropped? In looking through the archives and the GMC docs, it looks like it may be accessible by removing the transmission pan.
3. Is the pawl a part that is easy to find?

Thanks!
