Use an oem parts site with assembly breakout diagrams like the link below to see if you are missing a clip.

SOURCE: automatic shift lever will not move even after
Well given the fact that any insurance company would deem this vehicle a "total loss" I take it you know you are trying to revive a dead horse.
Have you drained the transmission.
Manually remove the shift linkage and shift it by hand at the transmission. This should give you operation of trans if it does then work on the system prior to transmission.
SOURCE: Hi, The automatic shift lever of my 2003 Toyota
The shifter linkage has come loose -- most likely where it's connected inside the console, but the entire length of the linkage needs to be checked.

The automatic transmission shift lock control switch.

The park/neutral safety switch.
With the ignition in the ON position, battery positive voltage is supplied to the automatic transmission shift lock control switch. The circuit continues through the normally-closed switch to the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid. The park/neutral safety switch provides a path to ground for the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid in the PARK position. This energizes the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid, mechanically locking the shift linkage in the PARK position. When the driver presses the brake pedal the contacts in the automatic transmission shift lock control switch open, causing the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid to de-energize. This allows the shift lever to move from the PARK position. When the shift lever is out of the PARK position the contacts in the neutral safety switch open and the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid is de-energized.
