Good morning.

Do you mean you only have park and forward? Does it move?

Do you have reverse?

Can you give us more details?

I had got stuck in moms yard, in February of 2019 and l had to call Garys Towing to pull me out, and then l drove home. I noticed it on the way home it got grinded little and reverse was not working, l was going to back in my yard, and l had to have friends push me in my spot. I went through the gears, and park was there, and drive was in every gear, but park, even neutral. A friend of mine got under it and he said the linkage had been hit to bent a rod or whatever. The big chain that he used hit on it maybe.

Okay, if it is stuck in drive gear in reverse, there is an issue inside the transmission.

That may have been damaged when you got stuck.

Is the check engine light on?
