Linkage Breakage?

Drove to the 7-11 tonite in my 75 450 SE.
A couple days ago while driving I noticed a slight
clicking sound and a little bit different
shifting characteristics.
Tonite, tho something broke in an intersection.
Had to push it into the 7-11 lot. Doesn't want to
go in any gear- the shift lever handle moves,
but nothing, alto I think it does activate Park.
Tomorrow I'm going to have it towed.
My guess is that it's a linkage issue and that the innards
of the trans are o.k.
What do you think?
(Trans was rebuilt about 8 yrs ago and has only about
30 or 40,000 on it at most)

It sounds like the shifting lever on the transmission is moving, so I would guess it's something more than just linkage. It could be something simple like a bushing.
