My 2001 Ford Escort won?t shift into any gear. The shifter won?t move, the car starts fine but can?t put into reverse or any gear. Any suggestions to what I can check myself before I have to tow it to a repair shop. Never had any problems before until this morning. Please help
2001 ford escort won’t shift to any gear

Could be lots of things, but my Taurus wouldn't shift out of park due to a $2 electronic part. Guy at the dealership did it for me, wrote off half the labor for a total of $50. That and the towing of the stupid thing....

Check your brake lites, check the bulbs and the switch
Also you can turn ignition key to "run" (dont start!) , shift car to neutral, start car and shift to D or R and drive
