Hi,

If the vehicle thinks it is in neutral, it won't start. Are you able to shift it to any other gear position? If so, put it in neutral to see if it will start.

If you are unable to shift to any other gear, have a helper shift through the gears while you watch to see if the shifter lever is being moved by the shift cable. This is on the top portion of the transmission. See pics below.

Try this and let me know what you find.
