    Mine did the exact same thing. I picked it up and drove it 60+ miles home and then backed it in the driveway. It's stuck in reverse now.

      Have you taken it apart ? Any clues? Mine is still stuck in Chicagoland.

        I messed around with the shifter, my bushings were totally shot. I replaced some of them thinking that would help but it didn't, still stuck. I bought a used trans I'm waiting for it to arrive. I just assume that the trans is screwed.

              Try jacking it on all 4's to relieve the load. Make sure u have full fluid in tranny. rotate wheels forward and backward as much as poss. Pull the piss out of it. If no luck buy a tranny.

                Bump. Just wondering whether any of you guys found a fix or if its terminal. Also, if you replaced the tranny, was there any problem with the clutch, or was it fine?
