Ok the update is as follows

The mechanic said there was a safety solenoid locking the transmission which he gained access to by removing the trans oil pan that was pushed out the way, that solenoid connect to the ignition lock cylinder on steering column.

Now trams shifts free only if the shifter assembled is not locked in place ( entire shifter box is loose and u push linkage easy )

The car would still not start no matter what gear it is in Neutral or Park.
