IF it's a mid-90's Saab (mine was a 1995 Saab 900 SE Turbo Convertible, manual transmission), it could be a stretching clutch cable that means you cannot fully disengage the clutch even with the pedal all the way down to the floor, making shifting in and out of reverse and first difficult.
SAAB had a design flaw that year (and maybe a year or two earlier or later): It was a cable operated clutch, but NO way to adjust it as it stretched as it got older.
This was a real problem as you could not remove the ignition key unless you had shifted into reverse. At times the trouble would be bad enough I would have to stop the engine in neutral, THEN shift into reverse with the engine off, in order to remove the ignition key.
Eventually the cable stretched so far it broke. I had the dealer replace it (almost $1000)...and a few years later when the new cable started to stretch, I sold the car before it became a real problem again.

AnswerOn most cars the overdrive is on when you start the car and put it in gear. This is the D (drive) with a circle around it meaning "overdrive". Cars with a center console shifter the overdrive button is usually on the side of the gear shift.You will know if the OD is off because a light on the dash will come on that says O/D off.

Can't engage shifter from park?
I have the similar situation on my shifter on my 1991 pontiac sunbird 2.0 Liter. The shifter was kinda loose last two year, but it shifted fine. However, 2 days ago. When I put in "Park" gear, it was still moving forward, I put in "Rear" gear, it felt like in "Park", when I put in "Drive" gear, it felt like in "neutral". And the shifter is sometimes very loose, but back to normal when I put the shifter back and forth. I took it to a transmission store, they found out the "shift linkage cable" from the shift to the transmission was broken. I changed it today and so far no problem.
What would cause your shifter to become loose and not lock into any gear on your 2005 Jeep Wrangler?
It may just be a screw came loose underneath your gear shifter. That is what happened to me. Just slide the stuff up to the top of your gear shifter and look underneath. If one of the bolts is udone, just simple put it back on.
