i have a 98 mazda protege with an auto. transmission. i had to replace the cv joints and after they were put on i test drove the car and it was fine. i parked the car and went out the next day and it started but it wont go into drive. this was not a problem that ever happened before and the car starts fine and rides fine, only if it would go into drive. do you have any suggestions. please keep in mind that i am a disabled female with two kids and i do not want to call a mechanic and have them take advantage of my situation. can you help please?????
