Did this happen right after changing the shifter?

 

Nono..i have changed this shifter since 07 septemer..and bad thing only happen today... 2 hours ago...

 

its your shift cable.
same thing happened to a Eagle Talon i had some years ago.
it eather broke (i don't think so) or it came dissconected.

let us know what you find

 

yeah, its in the shift linkage..

 

possibly clip for the right side shifter cable came off.

 

shifter cable do you have a header? number one cause generally for under the hood shifter cable failure. if your lucky it did just pop off the shifter.

 

I DONT HAVE A HEADER... SO WHERE IS THE SHIFT CABLE LOCATED @ ? IS THAT A EASY FIX THAT I CAN DO IT BY MYSELF? PLS ADVISE..~~

 

check the linkage at your shifter then.

 

yes, u guys ar right...problem easily fixed.... thanks all

 

i like being right.
i thaught i was wrong once, but i was mistaken

 

At least it wasnt your trans. I had the same symptoms before and unfortunately it was not the linkage.

 

good one
