stripped governor gear is a common cause of that problem. Easy fix.

thanks man but I already checked the governor and it's fine . I have been told that it should shift if you Rev it high enough if the tv cable plunger is stuck but it won't shift at all . We'll it will shift into Rev or neutral and park just fine and the 4x4 seems to be working fine

It's toast, try rebuilding it, AND THEN do a burnout.
