Hi,
You're never alone. We will always be here if you need help.
As far as the picture is concerned, that is at the side of the transmission, under the vehicle. It is aproximately the same distance back as the front door of the vehicle. There will be a transfer case as well.
Now, the reason I suggested checking the linkage is that you indicated the shifter just moves back and forth with no click or resistance. In my mind, which indicates the linkage has come disconnected and is why I suggest you check if that is the case.
Tell me this. Does the gear indicator show the correct gear when you place the shifter in any of the gears? Also, as you are aware, when the vehicle is in park, you can't move it. If you place the shifter in neutral, can the vehicle be moved?
Let me know.
Joe
