Sorry for the delay in replying.

The shifter cable has a metal rod on each end. They have a 90 degree hook that pops into a plastic grommet on the lever on top of the steering column and the lever on the transmission. Either of the ends could be disconnected, the cable could be broken, or the casing could be slipping under its mounting bracket on the transmission.
