Re: My drive shaft wont move from park. what does this...
You mean the shifter???? make sure that your brake lights work. it uses the brake light switch to unlock the shifter. if they dont work, check fuse and if the brake light switch is working correctly.

Start the engine and engage a gear leaving the parking brake firmly applied. Take a quick look underneath to check if the drive shafts or the propellor shaft is turning. If it is the cause of the problem is fairly obvious...
If nothing visible is turning the fault is either the clutch or gearbox and as the gearbox must be removed to inspect the clutch, at this stage it isn't necessary to know any more...
When you say rocky spot, what do you mean? If you mean there were rocks in the roadway, you could have put a small hole in the transmission pan which leaked all the fluid out of it. First thing I would do is check the fluid level on the transmission dipstick and look for leaks on the ground under the car.
The truck is in park, this means the parking pawl is engaged to keep the wheels from moving and it locks the transmission/ driveshaft. Try putting it in neutral instead.
is it stick shift or auto box???
for stick shift check the clutch is working and the drive shafts are good
if the half shaft if snaped the prop shaft will turn but the car wont move!
if its an auto box check it is full of oil as well and then check the gear shift is working some times they just fall off,,,,,if the prop shaft is turning and the car wont move the fault is in the rear axle (drive shafts snaped)
trucks have a limited slip rear end to help in turning. if both back tires are in the air they will turn,the drive shaft wont turn because its in park. to check the vibration you might check the balance of your tires
I take it as the car starts but it won't function well in drive and disables you from operating it.
Check the drive shaft as well as your torque converter and universal joints for alignment before you assume it's the transmission.
See from the torque { turning } of the parts to get the gearing to move the car. Any one of those could make horrible noises if they're not in proper alignment.
They work in close / direct conjunction with your cars transmission that all play vital and parts in allowing you to put it in gear to drive it.
These are common for the pump shaft splines stripping in the torque converter. The transmission will need to be removed to fix it. Before you condemn the trans, does the speedo move and the van doesn't or do you hear any grinding when you put it back into park? Or can you push the van in park (Broken CV shafts)?
I would check the transfer case. The transmission is shifting manually thru the gears okay. The transfer case 4x4 module is not communicating to release the case so the vehicle will move.
Make sure all the fluid levels are full.
