Transmission and gear selector stuck in park.

Must of happened when i had my engine lifted up so i could take out my oil pan. I know the transmission is stuck becuase it was freely shifting from park all the to first gear(manually moving the linkage rod thing back and forth) then i removed a wire and it went into lock out mode or something in park. Not sure why the gear selector was stuck in the first place but it was. I have a i-pro OTC that says it has a Selector Lever Signal Error so whats wrong? I think i reset the tranny and im going to unhook the linkage and check again but the shift lever is stuck in park, connected to the tranny or not.

On the 1997 car there is a cable from the brake pedal to the rear of the trans that allows the shifter to be moved from park.

There is a reset on that cable right at the trans, just de-press the "button".
