Default Transmission guys I need help quick

I'm sorry but this is a none Vette question. My Mom has a 96 GMC Jimmy and the 4L60E trans is stuck in reverse. I thought it was in the park safety switch mechanism so I disconnected the rod at the shifter ( Column shift) that wasn't it still stuck. I disconnected the cable from the trans and now the shifter moves free but the lever on the trans is stuck I tried to pry on the lever going into the trans it but it won't budge. Any ideas ...... The trans works and shifts fine it's just stuck.

You need to take the pan off the trans and look where the lever goes into the valve body and see what is keeping the shuttle valve from moving. Good luck.

Applying force or rocking the vehicle could cause additional gear damage.
