I believe there is a string that connects it to the column? Possibly broke or came unhooked?

Brandon's right, there is a little clip on the shift housing around the column. to which the most punk ass little cables are attached that move the shift indicator in the dash. Looks like something I engineered in my driveway. clip might've popped loose, or the cable snapped.
