SOLVED: HELP! No shifting, no engine!
I got up early this morning to take a friend to the airport, and I had it in Park while I waited outside her house for about 5 minutes. When she got in, I put it in drive and let off the brakes, and I went in reverse. I tried to shift into drive, but the gear shifter is unresponsive (no resistance at any gear setting, it just flops back and forth).
I turned the engine off to try restarting, but I get no sound whatsoever when I turn the key and no start. I moved the shifter into park, but I don't think it actually went there, though it did lock and I had to press the park override to move the shifter again. Anyway, I put the t-case into N so that I could push it out of the middle of the road, but now it is disabled and I am waiting for the tow truck.
Any thoughts?
I checked my tranny fluid and it is full. Battery is not dead (lights work, headlights are fine). Not sure what else it could be. It's getting towed to the nearby meineke, but I'd love to get some advice here.
