Column Shift lever moves freely but does not engage gears

As I was parking my truck earlier I pulled up and quickly put it into park and turn off the key. What I noticed was while turning it off, the vehicle never made it to Park. The shift indicator is located in reverse however I cannot engage the shifter into any gears to move it into Park. At this time, I cannot start the vehicle as it will not enter neutral or Park. I've seen videos on older models needing a solenoid replacement got.. Anyone know if that's the case here?

Answer this question I have this problem too

From my experience with this issue I would say that the shifting linkage has become disconnected at the transmission.

The best thing to do is have it checked by a certified GM Mechanic.

If you want to fix it yourself then buy the top and bottom part of the shift cable and I will be !&&* but if can replace it. I'm sitting in the parking lot right now doing this and got curious. Try to replace the whole cable and it will be fixed because if you buy another bushing then it will pop off 1month later and will soon do it every day.

How hard was the replacing of the cable? Can it be done without jacking up the car?
