54 rebuilt trans stuck in gear

[Ted K.]

Engine and powerglide rebuilt. Started engine but transmission is in gear even when it is in park. Park is engaged but car wants to go forward. Moving shift lever will not put transmission into neutral or reverse. Car will go forward in all positions except park, but in park it is still trying to go forward. Shift lever is correctly adjusted according to service manual. Help.

For get manual , put "PG" in park and adjust rod while the shifter is also IN park position.
