I went to get the car washed the other day,and it was performing as usual great ! but when i got in the line for the car wash i needed to back up.So as i put the car in reverse and moved back it was fine ,but then when i put it back in drive it went backwards again,so i looked down to make sure it was in the right gear and it was in the (d) postion. So to make a long story short i tried every other gear and the car only moved in reverse ? then i shut it down and it would not start back up ? is this because iits stuck in the reverse gear or something else. PLEASE HELP I NEED MY GXP.

Copying my response from the duplicate thread in the newb section.



I piggybacked off of Andrews response where he posted that the cable could've come off the trans.
