the gears were acting a LittLe funny - putting in drive or reverse or etc, and the car wouLd be in neutraL (not grabbing anything) but it wasn't that much of an issue once i got a hang of the fact that it was happening; a nice hard break, and ride the cLick through each gear (if that makes sense?).

i was just doing a normaL 3 point turn, and when shifting (automatic) from reverse to drive, it just snapped, and i no Longer was abLe to switch gears. LuckiLy, the car went into park (i assume that's a safety thing instaLLed?) since i wouLd have had to sit there with a foot on the brake whiLe yeLLing for heLp.

so basicaLLy, the trans was working ok, a LittLe funny, but i was hoping i couLd ride it out untiL i saved enough to fix it.
i didn't expect the cabLe to snap (that's what happened tonight) though. :(
if i'm Lucky, it's just the cabLe, but i doubt it. doh!

is that enough info?

it's sitting at a garage now, and i hope to know in the morning exactLy what's wrong and what their estimate is.

i'm gLad i just finished the xmas shopping yesterday (aLL the kids, and mrs. sniffa) or i'd be a more-usuaL than horribLe uncLe/husband. :P
