I have had it stick before in 1st or 2nd and I found that the gear knob was
not 100% seated down in place on the steering column.(Drive of course) If
it happens again, wiggle the gear knob alittle. If it is in place it will
not move up or down, if it is not then it should "catch" where it belongs.
Hey I hope for your wallets sake its this easy.
