48re wouldnt shift gears anymore out of nowhere, can get under the truck and shift by hand but something is broken in the linkage somwhere I assume. Truck is 4x4, the column shifter feels loose except it will sometimes register neutral if I move it around some. Idk if I broke a cable or what but I definitely need some help.
