Re: steering column
that doesnt make sense if the linkage is hooked up.. that would hold it in place

Re: steering column
I believe your shift rod needs adjustment. Pinch bolt needs to be loosened (while in park) and moved a little bit. Once loosened it will want to move in the direction it needs to go. If it's not rusted it may self-adjust while loose. Shouldn't move very much. Be sure to torque nut before checking.
