Check the linkage at the trans first. It's located by the diff after the protection plate. I would start there anyway before you start tearing everything part.

ok done found the problem the shifter cable linkage that hooks up to shifter linkage was worn out broken so after removing exhaust,, tunnel plate i got to the shifter linkage the connector was broken at the shifter side so i went to Orileys and bought a Help product a shifter linkage repair kit $5.00 and made some adjusting so that it would lock on and after 2 1/2hours vette was back on road easy fix. thanks even feels better when shifting no play ....................lesson fix it yourself and learn something.
