Shift linkage

I have a 99 neon. It doesn't go into reverse or neutral. It shifts from park to drive. Any ideas.

how long have you had this car? and how long has this been doing this? because it sounds like it's time for new tranny.

I've had it about a month. I have put on a new head gasket, new radiator, new sun roof, new water pump, 2 new brake hoses, new brake rotors, rear struts and a new lower motor mount. I freed up the kickdown cable and ever since that I can't get it into neutral or reverse. It goes into drive when I pull the shifter into reverse.

I took off the tranny pan and fixed the linkage inside the transmission. I will never take off the clip below the kick down lever again. Hopefully this car is good for awhile.
