HI Scott ,
Sorry, i didn't make myself clear.
In fact, as you said it's more like i can't get the shift lever to move into the gear when the
engine is running.
I was able to get back in first by stopping the car, put the shift in 1st and start back the engine and i manage to get home.
Thanks for the advice.
