its your shift cable.
same thing happened to a Eagle Talon i had some years ago.

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..~~

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