Def do what Jake says and check the CV joints, but given that the latest thing you did was change the shifter, why not check your shift cables. Could be an easy fix. Check both locations (near the shifter and also under the car). There are shift cables in the back portion of the car near the tranny where they must sit within their clips. If they pop out of these clips, you may not be able to get into gear, which means no power to the wheels.

X2 check to see that the shift cables are adjusted properly
