If it's a GM 700R4, your overdrive hub and drum is burned out. That has happened to me and required a rebuild. If it can't go into forth gear, it cant do any more harm by trying to go to overdrive. That's just a safety mechanism to get you home. In third gear, but home.
hey look under neath where ur driver footpedals are. chances are that the rubber grommet on the end of ur cable came off or broke.. look up into the column area an look for the black cable goin to a pivot point on shifter arm. reconnect. but will prob need new cable cause if end is no good will fall of again. move shifter back an forth to help u locate area of cable
Sounds like a shift cable or rod broke. This is dangerous as you probably figured out. Some emergency brakes do not work well for Reverse either. There is so little fabric on the Emergency brake that you are lucky it still works for you.
There is a safety lockout on the gearshift which requires a foot on the brake pedal. Otherwise you could just move the gearshift back and forth and see that the shifter is no longer connected to the transmission.
Look at some autoparts sites for the shift cable assembly. Once you see what is a good assembly you should be able to see where yours is broke. Youtube may have a video to show how to repair your car.
Under the hood by the brake fluid reservoir there should be another small reservoir that has a cap on it, this is called a slave-cylinder. If it is dry on fluid it will not release the clutch when you press on the clutch pedal and makes it very hard to get out of gear, especially if you are sitting on a hill. Make sure it is full of fluid( uses brake fluid). If this don't work rock the truck back and forth to take pressure off of transmission while trying to take out of gear.( may need a helper for this) If that doesn't do it you may have an internal problem with the synchronization inside the transmission.
SOUNDS LIKE YOUR SHIFT CABLE IS BROKEN TAKE YOUR CENTER CONSLE APART BY THE SHIFTER AND YOU WILL SEE A CABLE THAT IS CONNECTED TO YOUR SHIFTER MOVE YOUR SHIFTER BACK AND FORTH AND YOU SHOULD SEE YOUR PROBLEM.
There's a couple of rods, either on the gearchange linkage or on the outside of the gearbox, one does front to rear action on the gear lever, the other does left to right. theres usually a worn ball joint on the end of the rod which has probably fell off! Will need a new rod to fix the problem, a temp repair can sometimes be made with a couple of cable ties to hold the ball joint together until a new part can be got.
move the steering wheel back and forth if it is locked that is the problem and you will have to move it back and forth while turning the key if not the ignition switch will need replacing
