Drove half way home in first then couldn't stand it so stopped and jiggled the shift lever with these kind words(#*@%$#.) Managed to get it into second and drove the rest of the way home. Started in garage this morning and it would not shift to first but did shift to third where it remains as it will not shift up or down now. ANY THOUGHTS other than it's broke?
