Have a 2001 Chev Silverado with 178000 miles. Transmission shifter won't go to neutral,reverse or park. Cannot even get the key out of ignition. What has happened??

I’ve seen a number of shifter cables go bad on these years of Chevy trucks. If that is what has happened on yours; you might want to bring it in to have the cable replaced. The first one I did, I couldn’t believe how much of the under dash that had to come apart, too get to the cable & shift connection.

What happens when you pull the shifter to the lower gears like 1 n 2? if it just flops around then the cable is broke. i just replaced one in my car, that did just what you talk of. The shifter wouldnt go past nuetral cause the cable was in the way and it jams. hope i was some help.
