Any recent H.ell damage? lol!

Joke-sters around?

Do the wheels turn....maybe they sat you up on blocks?

Does it even act like it might move? Jolt when shifter moved? Parking brake off?

Check your transmission fluid level.

Maybe the linkage to the transmission has come loose.

Other than that, sounds like it's time to go see the transmission shop.

Good luck!

Think Positive Thoughts!

Just went there....Done that
