727 Locked up while driving causes?

now wait a minute... off and not rolling is the same as on and not rolling.... r

That's correct however I was going by what the OP said below. In this case, "engine off" the only thing that could be happening "cable wise" is if the trans was somehow in park. This should be easy to figure out.

Shutting off the engine and putting the shifter in neutral did nothing to unlock the rear tires,
