Thanks to ALL!
The cable was the issue. I have owned my '77 Eleganza since '84 and I have
never had an issue of not being able to shift out of park. I disconnected
cable from the bottom trans shiftier, than shifted by hand till I moved
100' to new location.
There was 3 possible issues:
1) was steering column locked up? (unhooked cable, shiftier worked fine).
2) hookup cable to steering column, unhook bottom of cable at trans,
shiftier won't move.
3) was trans broken? No, moved the trans lever from park to reverse etc.*
therefore it was a corroded cable.*
I have never felt so helpless when I couldn't drive or tow the coach.
THANKS AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGEABLE GMC
FRIENDS!!!!
