I am trying to get this car back on the road, however, I think I may have some transmission problems.  After driving it, I tried to drive it up the driveway which is on a slight incline.  Barely made it.  Now, I can't even get it out of park.   Any idea what may be wrong with it?  I can't get it out of gear.   I want to kind of have an idea of what it could be when I have it towed somewhere.

All assistance is most appreciated.  Thanks.

bump it... or try lifting the front wheels off the ground, the rest kinda sounds like tcc stuck on.

sounds like the park pin is jammed...set the E-brake and slightly lift he front wheels...as for the barly making it up you probly have a burned up clutch pack, unless you have experience this is were you might want to turn the car over to the experts for a overhaul/diag
