So it feels like the shift linkage isnt attached to the transmission anymore?

If it feels like your shift lever isnt moving the transmission linkage then the first thing i would do is get under the vechile with the parking brake on and wheels blocked.To see if the linkage is doing its job and the transmission and that it didnt come off the transmission
