The transmission is not engaging. Either the transmission control linkage is somehow disconnected or the transmission is not working. This could be due to excessively low fluid, the controller is not working, or a mechanical failure in the transmission.

Is it wrong to end a sentence with 'for'?

No. It's pretty standard. In some quarters it is still regarded as "wrong" to end a sentence with a preposition (in this case "for") because it frustrates the purpose of a preposition which ("pre - position") is to connect to something else. Incidentally (see discussion area) a palindrome is a word reading the same backwards or forwards, and is not related to this.
