Silverado wont shift back into park

Can you push the lever on the tranny into park? The shifter cable sheath broke in my burb under the carpet on the drivers side before it goes through the floor. It had been detorating for some time and the sheath kinda fell apart so that the cable had like 3 inches of play. What a pain in the ass, I was trying to adjust the cable on the tranny a bunch of times and it wasnt working. So I started tracing the cable from the shifter inside the column. One thing I found was the shifter itself was very loose, there is a bolt inside the column that needs to be tightened to hold it on, if the bolt is loose there is quite a bit of play before the cable moves. Wasnt my problem though, eventually I found the break under the carpet.

Good luck

Do you have or did you ever have a hole in the floor mat? If so I would start there. I had a hole and I also live in the snow belt with salted roads.... snow on my boots did it.

Taker easy!
