So I got distracted and tapped an Audi TT in the rear bumper at about 5mph the other day. He was going, then he wasn't, I was distracted by someone honking next to me, blah blah blah, I ran into the mofo.
No visible damage to the E30, but i was in 1st with my hand on the shifter and I believe some of my weight got thrown against it. Now the car doesn't want to stay in reverse, 1st, 3rd, or 5th - it'll go there if I guide it and keep my hand on it, but it won't stay, and there's no "gate" feeling. Also, I have to push the shifter until it hits the plastic console surrounding it before it'll engage the gear. This, as you may imagine, is getting irritating.
I've got limited time to deal with this. Any ideas on what I most likely bent or broke? I've done a lot of work to the car but not gotten into the shift mechanism yet.
