The gear shift moves from park into each gear, but the transmission only works in park or neutral, it will not shift into reverse or drive.

Hello,

This sounds like a transmission gear range sensor has gone out. Can you tell me if the car has reverse lights? If not here is the locations if the sensor. Also, we should scan for codes to see what comes up in case the problem is a turbine speeds sensor. Here is a guide and diagrams below to help us fix the problem:

Check out the diagrams (below). Please run this test and get back to us.

Cheers, Ken
