I was trying to shift out of park when it wouldnt go i forced it and something broke and now i cannot find any gears...its a 1995 chevy k2500 automatic transmission and 350 V8. when i unscrewed the dash a piece of whaqt looked like a fat washer fell out...any help would be appreciated.
Re: I was trying to shift out of park when it wouldnt go...
You will have to find out what you broke. It may be the cable, or the actual shifter. If you can shift it manually at the trans, you may not have broken anything too major.

your shifting pattern seams off , as follows P R N D D1 D2,
Will it go into any gears closer to park ? did you try turning steering wheel , next I would look under at tranny linkage to see if there is something stopping it. that will require 2 people 1 in truck and 1 underneath.
your linkage may need adjusting. I had a problem like this when I put it in park, my reverse lights were on and it wouldnt re-start until i shoved the gear shift hard into park. Check this out first.
yes yes yes there s a newtral parking switch in those and you eitho bent or broke it off try puting the car in newtral not newtral you can see just go by feel shift the car into l1 try it then l2 try it
then d try it heck even try reverse and newtral
failing that you need a hays manual and a lot of time to crall arround eithor under your dash or hood depending what the book says
happy hunting and good luck
btw thats why all cars come with a parking or hand break dont be afraid to use it b4 you put your car in park it will save you a lot of problems in your tranny like bent parking pins from some moron bumping your car or just a hill or incline.
your transmission has possibly been rebuilt with stronger springs put in. No worries. have been running mine for along while without any problems. Better this than slipping, but it is a bit annoying.
Tha vacuum modulator will not keep the truck from shifting,it only helps with sift quallity.it sound like you have some internal problems and will need to take it to a transmission shop
When you turn ignition on it releases a cable that is attached to the shifter also the shifter has a solenoid attached to it that is released when you step on the brake. Both times that I had the problem of button stuck and cant shift out of park the solenoid was sticking and wouldnt release .
take it to the dealer.
