Help! Changed Gearshift bushings and...
Changed Gearshift bushings and put everything back together... now the button won't push in and let me change gears...
Obviously I missed something somewhere... I've checked the fuses, it's not that... I'm wondering if something needs to line up that I don't know about?
Any ideas where to start?
pulling apart again to see if I missed anything... all harnesses are connected.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Oops should have clarified. Automatic 2 Wheel Drive.
When in Park, I can not get the button to go in all the way to change the gear.
If I push the button to move the gearshift, I can move around the other gears, the problem is in getting it out of lock when it is in park.
Attaching a pic...
After taking it apart I noticed there's a lever that moves forward and backward which is what allows the manual override to work.
When you push the manual override, it moves the lever forward.
Part 33058 is the solenoid, which I believe is responsible for moving that lever.

I have read that the solenoid does go bad in these, but the timing is suspicious..
No issues before disassembly and now, the issue... Can you ruin a solenoid by bumping it?
I currently moved the lever forward and wedged a toothpick in so it does not release back, which allows me use as normal for the time being, but I would like it to fix correctly,
just trying to figure out what the actual issue is.

Key turned to "On"? Foot on the brake? It should not shift without both of these.

Going to go ahead and call this solved...
In a Final Fantasy like series of events, the brake fuse had actually blown while I was on my way home... (likely from trailer wiring) so the car wouldn't have gone into gear the next time I went to start it.
I did the repair and thought the inability to put in gear was related to the repair, when in reality it was because of the blown fuse... what are the odds?

Thanks for the followup.
So what can we learn from this? Your multimeter would have told you that the solenoid was not receiving power. It wouldn't have directly pointed you to the fuse (though that would sure be the next thing I tested), but it would have saved you from buying a $53 part you don't need.
