The shifter has LITTLE or nothing to do with the car stuck in PARK unless it is SEIZED completely.....! The trans is kept in park by a cable that goes into the rear of the trans & is attached to the BRAKE pedal..that is what keeps you from shifting into gear unless the brake pedal is depressed.

IF they can move the shifter with the shift linkage removed then the CABLE has to be the problem!
