Hello,

It sounds like you have a shift cable that has broken. Here is a guide that will help you get the problem fixed. You will need to jack the car up most likely.

Also check to make sure the cable end is plugged onto the transmission becasue sometimes they can pop off.

Please let us know what happens, we are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken
