I can't put my car into any gears at all. I drove my car today and 4 hours later I tried to go out with my and I reliazed that I was not able to put the car into first gear. It won't even push up or down. Seems like it is jammed. But the strange thing is I can put it into gear when my car is turned off. So when the engine is off I can put it into any gear but not when the car is turned on. So now my car is left outside of my house I have no choice to get a truck to drag my car back to Toyota. Any idea what it could be?

Thanks....

Check your shift linkage. Its on the right side of the engine bay, towards the back, by the tranny. You'll probably have to move some stuff to see it. Linkage includes 2 roughly 5'' pegs with round ends. "
O--- (really really rough example)
One goes front to back, one goes left to right. I can maybe take a pic of it tomorrow or when its not raining. Its rare that this would come apart but if your actual stick isnt moving, that maybe it. If your clutch wasnt disengaging, u'd still be able to pull it outta gear. And when u started ur car, it would jump.

Also check ur clutch fluid resovoir, if its low, you probably have a leak.
