Have you tried pushing the car back and forth with pressure on the shifter towards another gear position.

Was your tranny making any howling sounds prior to this incident?

You could try PMing broke on vortex

Yes i've tried rocking the car. It really looks like the selector is trying to shift 2 forks at once or is in third and stuck on the back side of another fork. Can't see in very well. I pmed him and just waitin for a response. No noises prior. It was shifting funny on the way to work it couldn't wait till i got home.
