Help! My CX-9 won’t start

I mentioned earlier that there's a problem with the gear mechanism, there's a broken mechanism on the cable connected to the shifter on left side anyone know what that (cable) is for also notice that there's another cable on right side ,I believe it goes to the tranny to change gear can anyone verify this .thanks
 
still no go , I took out starter and bench tested it seems ok , put it back in car and tried to jump it by hooking directly to battery but wouldn't turn over in car so have to do something different .I couldn't make it turn over like when it was out of car. I took the plenium off again .I'm going to do a engine pressure test of the pistons to see how the engine is. I turned engine by hand to see if its free it seemed ok to me . Oh, the tow truck driver mutilated my gear shift lever ,a part that holds the safety cable is damaged(if anyone has one laying around or where I can obtain one would be lovely ) .So will need a new part to get that working properly.
