My car wont go into Park or Reverse.?
So I bought a Dodge Intrepid 2000 for cheap from a friend and the only problems really is that the car gear wont go into Park or Reverse. How can I fix it? Someone said i would have to buy a new transmission or take it to a mechanic. What can I do?

If you are talking about moving the shift lever into Reverse or Park, there's a button on the shift lever that must be pushed to get the car into Park or Reverse. The linkage or solenoid that prevents shifting isn't working. I seriously doubt it's the transmission. There may be an access panel on the side of the console. Remove the screw(s) (not more than two) and see if you can see anything wrong in there. Beyond that, I recommend a mechanic as I can't troubleshoot further from here.

there's a mechanism that stops you from putting your vehicle in opposite or park in case you're shifting.
