Shifting problems

I broke the shifting cable , tried southern engineering it , won't go into park , having to start it in neutral, and transmission wouldn't shift into nothing but second, messed with the cable again and now it won't shift into any other gear but first , I know I have it in drive , but when I go down the street and it's not shifting out of first, I can reach down and shift it into second gear and it will shift into the next gear with no slipping at all in either gear
