Auto Transmission

[Woofie]

Hi... I have z 2008 VE commodore 5sp... There has been no clunks or noises from the transmission . Smooth change... However the other day.. I went into a shop.. went to start it... nothing.. looked and saw that it was indicating it was in Drive... Stick shifts moves freely... but will just not shift out of Drive... Anyone have any idea?

It seems to he stuck in drive... so I was unable to start it.. had to get it towed home. the gear shift itself moves freely... but not taking it out if Drive

most likely transmission dead but I'm no mechanic

With zero diagnosis that escalated pretty quickly.

Transmission select/range/position/mode sensor (the thing that identifies which gear is selected with the shifter) is probably dead or off position. Also possible that the park/neutral safety switch could be dead.

Could be linkages.
