Best Answer

The shifter doesn't move?

- if so, the ignition switch is At Fault not allowing the shifter to physically move.

The transmission doesn't go into drive gear?

- if so, your fluid level may be too low ... proper transmission fluid level must be maintained at all times. The only way to check that fluid level is with the engine running and at normal operating temperature. Be sure the transmission is in Park, the break set, and chocks placed at all wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving.
