Default Won't shift into gear

I took the center console out along with the climate controls, stereo and clock to swap radios.

Now when I press on the brake and put the shifter into gear it won't budge until I push the little paddle on the shifter down. I was looking on the right side and see two white piece move (one in a up and down motion and one in a twisting motion.

In order to engage into drive from park or park to reverse and all the combos in between I have to press the little paddle down.

I did a search on shifters sticking but came up with a hand full but didn't find anything that really answered my questions.

Does anyone know what this could be?

I don't remember, but if you search this site a little, it would probably narrow it down.

Just curious to what "paddle" you are referring to?

He's probably talking about the emergency release button for the shifter.
