We went up to the snow (we live in Northern CA so the snow is about 45 minutes East of here) to get a tree 2 weeks ago and on the way home the car stopped shifting. You had to rev the engine up to VERY high rpms to get the car to go into the next gears. We had also just had a friend replace the brake pads and rotors in the front brakes for us a week before this and they had been acting odd-took the car to Les Schwab, they said that the caliper was stuck, so we had them replace the drivers side caliper and the problem with having to rev up the engine to get the gears to shift was fixed. But then the car started being a little temperamental. A little hard shifting... high rpms before it would shift... the car stopped moving forward when the gas was not pushed... and this morning, it won't go into reverse, but seems to be moving forward very easily. However my driveway isn't so long and I need to reverse out to get into the street so I can't check to see if it will move through the other gears.
I will try to get help dropping the tranny pan later. Can't do it on my own as I don't have the tools.
Thank you!

I am thinking it could be the driopping resister for the tranny, or neutral safety switch but not sure. Please post this on the site I sent you in the private message as there are more knowledgeable people than I that will help,
Does the shifter seem sloppy or loose on the steering wheel.
