Re: 1997 intrepid wont shift
Intrepid are automatics, you should mention it.
The TRS (transmission range sensor) may be rusted. It's why it's hard to move and don't shift. By forcing it, you didn't damage it (it's very solid), but I guess the clip that hold the cable jumps out of the cable. It's why it's so loose and you can't shift (bad contact).
Now what you should do, is open the hood, and put back the plastic clip on the shift cable. Use a tie-wrap to hold it in place. So it'll not jump anymore.
If I'm right, the TRS should be replaced. Or like Airjer said, it's the cable. To move the car temporally, put motor oil on the TRS to lube it. You may able to shift, but it'll not last very long, so it still needs to be replaced. If the D position doesn't work, try 1, 2 or D3.
