Follow the linkage from up top to the trans. it's jamming or bent.

Sounds like a bent fork in the transfer case. It is a common problem with your truck. The transfer case is a np236. If it just recently started doing this, the rebuild will cost around $800. If the 4wd has been acting up for a while, the planetary will probably need changed, which is another $200.

SOURCE: The gear shift is stuck in park in a 2007 chevy

I went to get in my car tonight to leave and my console gear shift would not shift out of park. The gear shift button will not press in. Absolutely nothing! I have a 2007 Chevrolet Impala. Anyone know of this problem and what is the solution?
