Replaced the shift cable on my 700r4 a couple months ago. Today i drove my camaro around all day. I got in it tonite and went to back up and i couldnt select any gears, the car just goes forward. I tryed putting the tranny in park from under neath and then hooking the cable up to the gear shifter when its in park but the cable isnt long enough. Any suggestions? Why would this happen?

 

Check that the cable is properly installed in the bracket on the transmission and on the shifter. It's a little easier if the transmission and shifter are both in neutral instead of park.

 

The cable seems to be in the bracket correctly. It doesnt seem like the cable is damaged either.

 

Did you check both ends? You didn't have it in 1st by mistake?

 

nope i have gear control what so ever. sum how its fooling the neutral safety switch, i start it and it jumps forward and wants to take off.

 

The neutral safety switch is on the shifter, it doesn't know what position the transmission is in.

If it's jumping forward, then you don't have it in park.
