A lot to cover here but I will hit a couple of basics. This relates to the 700R4 made till 1992.
If it was working and isn't the most common issue is the square hole in the plastic gear rounds out. So the gear turns but the cable doesn't.
The gear can be spinning on the transmission output shaft, or the plastic teeth missing.
If the cable is new the internal cable can be too short. Typically this strips the end of the plastic gear because it doesn't have enough engagement.
If you are older, like I am, magnification may be necessary to see the issue.
