I would bet on a broken or disconnected linkage from the shifter to the transmission. Hopefully it is not broken inside the transmission. Have someone move the shifter around while you look under the hood to see if the linkage is moving as it should. Let us know.

Generally transmissions are pulled from under the car, though it may not even be necessary. If you are a beginner at working on cars, working on your transmission may be a bit much to take on. I would leave that to someone who knows more.

Hello,

You can do the job yourself. We have a guide that shows the job being done that will give you an idea on what it will be like on your car, and I have found some diagrams (below) that will help you get the job done on your car.
