There is a bowden cable between the dash indicator and the shift linkage. If the linkage is attached and moving the lever on the transmission (if you can operate it), this cable is broken, or the dash indicator itself is broken.

If the lever on the transmission isn't moving, the linkage has come apart and you will have to re-attached the open link.
