With no connection from the rear to the transmission, "park" can no longer "park" the rear differential/ wheels, hence it will roll in any position.
Can you move/ turn the drive-shaft on the transmission end of it?
Maybe doing this tweak will let the shifter turn loose.
Maybe you lucked out and did no damage to the transmission.
Back in the day, I kind of was a master of hell damage. Glad I grew out of it! Things got expensive. That sick churning stomach feeling is not felt quite as much as it used to be. I am now accused of being a Grandma Driver. See my link for one of my adventures!
