97 Blazer Stuck in Park

Changed the brakes and rotors on my 97 Blazer and when I went to take it for a test drive I was unable to get it out of park. I was able to get it to start but could not get it to switch gears. When I depress the brake pedal and press the button on the shifter I can hear a click from the dash area which sounds normal but it will not move.

My dad got down and messed with the transmission linkage I think and then we removed the console cover and found the little level you can press to allow the shifter to move. By pressing on that lever I can get it into N and R but thats it. It even has a hard time shifting into P. Called it a night and logged on here hoping someone might have some suggestions.

I have seen some posts about the linkage, brake switch, and the ignition.

We checked all the fuses and my brakes lights and dash lights do come on. Any ideas?
