Broken shift Cable and No start

[tmoney919]

I have searched all over and only found that the body lift causes shifting to be tight. I have a automatic transmission and after completing the body lift it would not start I went underneath and manually put the transmission in Park and it started right up took it for a drive and when I put it in Park the shift cable broke, so i had my wife step on the brake while I went under and manually put in park. Only problem is now the truck will not start in Park or neutral. Anybody ever have this problem or know where to start? I know I need a new cable. But why will it not start if I go underneath and put the transmission in Park or Neutral?

Neutral safety/ range sensor on side of trans broke.

Yeah that was it, truck runs again. But am now faced with a new problem. O/D off light flashing and heck engine light is on I am disconnecting the battery and gonna let it sit for a few hours to try and reset the computer. If not gonna have to get it scanned for codes.
