Okay, so pulling my car into a parking spot when I went to go shift into park everything seemed fine until I let my foot off the brake then it started rolling slowly as if it were in neutral. So I go to try to put it in reverse and nothing, just stays in a state of free rolling. So I turn off the car and go to try and start it again and nothing. It seems to be acting like it’s maybe in between gears or something.

Good morning,

Does the shifter feel normal? This sounds like the shifter cable from the shifter to the transmission is not working.

REMOVAL PROCEDURE

CAUTION: The automatic transaxle range selector cable is made out of two cable sections. After initial connection never separate the two metal couplings from one another Integrity of the connection of the two metal couplings will be lost if separation of the two metal couplings occurs. When servicing the transaxle remove the cable at the automatic transaxle range selector lever and at the automatic transaxle range selector cable bracket. If either section of the cable needs to be replaced, replace both of the cable sections. Loss of connection integrity of the two metal couplings can cause loss of transaxle shift control which could result in personal injury.
