PLus I'm parked on a decline and can't move. Any suggestions to how to get into reverse so I can get home and take things apart? 2000 Black SVT #2639/2760; w/18 OZ Superleggera's, Pirelli Pzero Nero.

I made it to the garage using only 1st and 3rd gears so I'm hoping it's nothing too serious. 2000 Black SVT #2639/2760; w/18 OZ Superleggera's, Pirelli Pzero Nero.
