Default RE: gear shift jammed.. help!

With a phillips screwdriver you can probably find the problem. Remove the center console. All phillips screws and pop in parts. There is an electric solonoid in the shifter under there and a couple cables. This area takes alot of spills so you probably have a mess under there. One of the cables is to the trans to change gears. One is from the ignition switch and the solonoid is activated by the brake switch. Take a look at all of those.
