Alright..
Pulled in to a gas station yesterday afternoon, and shut off the car. Filled with gas, restarted the car, and went to pull out.... NO MOVEY-MOVEY!!.
The car won't engage in ANY car.. even reverse..
Now.. try to stay with me on this one, as it is the only way I can explain it...
In the "standard-H" pattern of gears, you can FEEL, where the shifter WON'T go from 1-3, because there is SOMETHING in the way... The same holds true for 2-4, and 4-R, and 3-5.. right???? okay.. well.. now, my shifter feels more like an old atari joystick.. it moves the COMPLETE square shape of the shifter housing. there is nothing stopping me from going from the upper right corner (where 5 should be, to the upper left corner (where 1 should be), in a straight line!
What is this problem? not tranny, is it? Most likely the linkage went out? PLEASE advise... car is F-O-R-D, until I get a reply.. I am a sitting duck, here..
ANY further explanation will be given, if needed..
TIA
Ray
