Cant push car in neutral

[michigander2005]

Appears I have auto tranny problems ,, what would lock it up so it cant be pushed in neutral ?

Thanks in advance


1996 Buick skylark auto transmission

frozen brake caliper or wheel cylinder or wheel bearing, just a place to start jack up each tire and see if it spins freely

just jacked up each side ,, not brake related but..............

drivers side spins freely in neutral


Houston...

passenger side ,, tire spins a little in each direction @ stops by hand I can see motor and tranny raising from pressure without engine running.

check the linkage to be sure trans is actually in neutral and not just according to gauge

linkage moves on top of tranny ,, I pulled right axle to push in garage.

my uneducated verdict park is busted inside tranny

It must be stuck in park as turning tire forwards and backwards puts pressure on engine and tranny...
