Manual Transmission Column Shift Problems of Dodge Ram 2500

Column shifter lever had been difficult to move for months from p (park) to any other gear (r, d, 1-2-3). The shifting mechanism broke today after I started the engine (truck had been parked overnight in my home's driveway) when I tried to move the shifter from park to reverse to exit the driveway and drive vehicle elsewhere. Shifter will not engage transmission into any gear now; truck is not drivable. Required an oversize rollback tow truck to come get it and take it to a repair shop since my pickup has a long bed.
