How do i adjust shifter cable so transmission goes into Park?

Sounds like a transmission valve body failure. Could be the solenoid as well, you might as well replace that as long as you're in there. Is the check engine light on? Some auto parts stores will scan it for free.

They usually stick in Park!

Under hood where shift cable or two if manual, you will see a metal spring that goes around cable right next to where metal rod extends and retracts to provide shifting. On end farther away from shiny rod is a normally white piece of plastic before turns black and heads into car. In this white piece of plastic is a square normally yellow or pink but could be white or same, dig at all four corners of square piece and pull up word perpedictular to cable when it pulls I p approximately 1 inch, then it will pop free and cable will not be hooked to output shinny metal rod. If break switch applied park lock works and transmission is in park you could push square plastic clip back into place. If this doesn't remove unwanted travel or adjustment, I have had to block the wheels, set park brake and shift shifter into manual drive 1. And on transmission do the same, useually tword the cable as shifting into 1st is pulling on cable then cable pulls on trans, when both in same location or desired reinsert clip. Couldn't find picture but just as good. Here is someone doing what I tried to explain. Little different cable then I picture in my head but done to many to count. Here ya go

Sounds like the shifter is stuck in reverse or drive since it will roll.
I would set the parking brake and have someone watch the shift lever on the transmission to see if it and the shifter inside is still connected.

Does it shift into park and reverse with the shifter disconnected ?
Both the shifter and the actual transmission ?

On the 1995 Jimmy, the shift cable can come loose on the mount on the side of the transmission where the cable meets the trans. When it slips, the alignment goes off and causes the driver to not be able to put the trans into park. If you take a long stick you can push the shift arm on the trans to the park position and your trans will go into park.....what you (and I) really need to know is how to take the shift cable mount apart and reset it.

on the cable there is a release on the cable lift up the lock put trans in park and the shifter in park then lock it into place

u broke the parking paw in the trans...this repair needs to b done at a service station

The shifter cable is adjustable in the column. Remove the column covers and see if you can adjust the cable. You problem is with the cable.

either the cable has slipped and the transmission is not accually in park or there is a problem with the parking pawl in the transmission
