Shift lever assembly? Being lazy

WTH, it's too hot outside to go see for myself, but if I already lured you into looking at this, maybe you'll give me a head start.

Yesterday, something in my shift lever function broke. It became real easy to move and it still rolls when you put it in park. It drives fine, and all the transmission gears work as indicated. I repaired one before where a small C-clip came off that connects the shift lever to the transmission control cable, allowing it to fall off. But, this one is still shifting, except for Park.

Does that transmission control cable not operate the Park function as well? Is there something else that the lever operates for Park? It doesn't really say much in the service manual.
