A quick wash and then 1st gear....and only 1st gear

[Pdwight]

I took my car in today to just spray the ragweed pollen and dust off and put it back in the garage, about 2 miles to the car wash(no not automated). Washed the car and rinsed it off and pulled out into the highway when I pulled from first into second it felt strange and no second....only first.

I pulled over and it was still in first .....then I limped home at 30 mph and 5.5K RPM

I popped off the boot and removed the ashtray compartment to see if a cable had popped off and it has not, both still attached to the shifter. I did not have time to jack the car up and remove the cover....but I seriously hope it is just a cable

The shifter feels like it is not attached to anything, very light and free moving....this ever happen to any of you guys ??

THanks in advance
Dwight
