What trans do you have? Either look at the trans code on the door sticker or count the number of pan bolts.

Maybe your shift linkage is to far up? and D would be 1, try putting it in Neutral see if it moves.


To know what trans you have, just look at your gear selector:

P R N D 2 1 = C6
P R N (D) D 1 = AOD
P R N (D) 2 1 = E4OD
