Shifting problems

I broke the shifting cable, tried southern engineering it, won't go into park, having to start it in neutral, and transmission wouldn't shift into nothing but second, messed with the cable again and now it won't shift into any other gear but first, I know I have it in drive, but when I go down the street and it's not shifting out of first, I can reach down and shift it into second gear and it will shift into the next gear with no slipping at all in either gear
