transmission
I have a problem with my transmission. I ran over the tread of a truck yesterday and it hit something under my 77 vette. It put the transmission in first gear and it will not come out. The shifter moves but it feels like something is broken. It is a cable and where would it hook to transmission>

Sure had me worried when it slammed into first gear driving down the highway at 60mph.

Put it in park manually on the trans, put the shifter in park, tighten it up. then put shifter in L1 and make sure it matches the detents. shouldn't take much...the detents in the trans are positive for each position. if you've ever hot-wired a car, this is how you would manually put it in gear after twisting the steering wheel to break the cam lock...they never show that on tv...

There's a little adjustment on the trans shift lever. I usually place it in low1 and do the same with the shifter. That usually gets you very close to perfect. Just make sure your car locks into park when finished.
