Well the car drove all day perfect, Well I went out a little bit ago and started it and when i put it into Reverse it seemed quite easy, and then it didn't go nowhere. i put into Drive and it didn't go nowhere. Pretty much the Car is Stuck In Park the shifter moves to D and R and N but does not do nothing and the shift usually takes a little efford to move from PARK to Reverse but now it just glides like maybe the Shift Cable came off.


Does anyone know what happen and a easy fix? and if it is the Shift linkage could it had just came loose and came off? or only can it brake?
Ok, Where can i see all that at.

JUST JACK IT UP AND LOOK OR INSIDE THE CAR UNDER CARPET?

The easiest thing to do is to get someone you trust like your dad, to shift the car from gear to gear while you watch the shift cable to see if it is shifting the lever on your transmission?
If the cable is broken replace it/repair disconnected cable.
If you see the lever on the side of your transmission moving, you probably want to check your fluid level, if the fluid level is good make sure you notice the smell of the fluid, if it smells burnt you could have serious trans problems?
Be very careful, when a vehicle is being shifted in and out of gear, be aware that you could be seriously injured.or worse!
Happy hunting
