What transmission does it have? That will determine what kind of linkage you most likely have.

updates: when i got back to my dads shop after messn with the fuel for a wile we moved on to the linkage. i crawled underneath the coach an disconected it from the tranny. i was half way expectong mot to move it and it worked perfectly. my dad was in the seat and started messn with the shift lever a little bit more. still not being able to get into drive he just kept movn it bak and forth the somthing lined up(or broke not sure) now it goes into drive perfectly should i diconect the column and check inside there or leave well enough alone?
all i know is im glad its not the trans becouse i have receipts of that thing just getting serviced

Well that depends. Are you willing to bet your safety, the safety of your passengers, as well as others around you on the road on a repair done by messing with the shift lever moving it back and forth until something lined up or broke not sure?

Whew. Good. I didn't mean to be a poop. but a shift linkage is nothing to take a chance on. If it comes loose in the wrong conditions, the results are not good. An out of adjustment shift linkage can also fail a transmission, and those aren't cheap!

What kind of transmission is it? That will determine the type of linkage. If in doubt, read the name tag on the transmission.
