linkages under the car? remove cover from steering column and make sure nothing has come loose and is inhibiting the shifter from moving. I think I recall someone mentioning a screw or something that worked loose but I don't remember it was a while ago on a different board.93 Town Car Cartier 150k mi

The shifter moves through the whole range, but the transmission doesn't engage?

Does the shifter come out of park?
