Hi,
When you say it won't start, do you mean the starter doesn't engage to turn the engine or it does, but the engine fails to start?
Let me know that. Here are two links. At least one of them should be of interest based on the issue.

Let me know. Also, let me know if the no-start condition began when the shifter started acting oddly.
Take care,
Joe
