I was down shiting to slow down I took the car out of gear fine but went to put it back into gear and couldnt. So I pulled over and set for just a minute. Got mad and forced it into first, then to second, drove in second for the 6 blocks home and now it goes in and out of realy all but second gear. I can force it in and out but im not sure what it is I have been told maby linkeg

Hi carfreek1,

You have most probably broken the gear shift cable or dislodged the linkages.

Open the hood and get someone to move the shift leve while you check the linkages at the transmission end.
