Recently my girlfriend hit a concrete parking block and bent both of the rear trailing bars on the passenger side. I replaced them and began to push the car out of the spot it was in for 6 months to jump start it but half way i put it in park to answer a phone call and when i went to put it back into neutral to continue pushing the shifter was stuck. Is this because the Batt. is fully dead or could she have damaged something else that would cause it to suddenly lock up like that?
