I did a search, but I can't seem to get anything to come up. I guess I need to polish my search skills. I took it out for a ride tonight, and the car was running great. I ran into a store, came out, backed out of the space, and had a bit of difficulty getting it out of reverse. One I got it out, I can now only get reverse 1st and 2nd gear. In the neutral gate, the shifter won't budge to the right past the 1-2 forward/back shift plane. Feels like it's hitting a brick wall, no give in that direction at all.

Obviously I have to look into this. Is this a known issue, anyone have an idea where to look first? Shifter end or trans end?

Thanks.
