In the car business - as it has always been known, you buy a use car, you get use problems - you purchase a new car, you get new car problems. for people who are not mechanical inclined buying a use car with lots of miles on the vehicle, you need to have a certified mechanic of that type vehicle give you a in depth report on problems at that time and the possible of problems coming right behind - if you want to keep this car you need to find a mechanic- a place is the car clubs. most are mechanics. they have restored there cars from top to bottom- if you want to buy a use car with some over sight of it having reliability, the car clubs might be a place to look -.another place are locations that have warranty in place with use cars

Check the cable clips at the trans. Sometimes these clips come out and won't shift. Horseshoe clips that hold the cable housing.

Is your driving primarily city?
You may want to check to see if the clutch master cylinder reservoir is full. If it is not full you may have a leak or the clutch friction disk is worn. If the fluid is at the correct level, you might consider having the fluid flushed and refilled.

Hello
The
Engine and Automatic Transmission (not applicable to manual
transmissions) in this vehicles drive train are fully
electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM and TCM (Power
Train Control Module, Transmission Control Module). When a problem
like this or other drive-ability related problems occurs the computer
stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions
to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and
MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory,
to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned
with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must
perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the
problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED
TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR HARD
EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. Also always
check fuel pressure for correct spec for your make and engine type.

check all motor to body ground straps and all wiring harness to body ground straps.

on what you did - did you twist it back into first position- - another tip is always mark location on item you are going away from- the reason is if it does not correct issue you are working on, you can adjust back to first location for a reset - you just need to bite the bullet and take the car to a either dealership who works on your car or a transmission shop to reset your linkage up correctly again. because you are not a mechanic by what you did, this is called lessons of life = no one rides for free.
