You may perhaps try a test with the rear wheels off the floor. If ther's no "clong" in the trans when you shift from N to another position, ther's a problem with oil line pressure : no pressure in the lines (regulator valve locked ?) But don't forget that you can have a strange cause !! I remember that a friend on his '57 could start in R (very dangerous) and no other positions worked !!! - The shift cable unlocked at trans just when the car rolled back and was in R (so the trans lever remains in R ..) - The trans. safety switch was shot so someone (some years ago) grounded the wire rather than replaced it ...! So perhaps your shift cable unlocked itself in N ?
