I inspected the linkage under the center consol at the shifter and all was well. I went up to the trans and checked the linkage there…

You have to remove the battery and tray to see the linkage so I did just that. The bushings were gone. The linkage for the 5th/reverse selector were stick on the trans causing it to bind and not move. The other just flops around on the selector.

I am ordering new bushings today.

Thanks for all the suggestions!!!

Quick visual shows nothing jammed anywhere. I didn’t hear anything and the transmission was not making any noises prior to or after this occured. It’s like I’m locked out of mocing the shifter from side to side and cannot get into 5th or reverse.
