Dodge ram van 1996: problem with the gearshift

[Diana]

Hello everybody,

I have a dodge ram van 2500 (1996).

Yesterday, I parked it in my driveway, everything was ok. Today, everything works fine except the gearshift. It seems to be stuck. I pull it towards me and try to take it down but it doesn't go easily. What could be the problem? I am sure it is nothing serious. Please help me, I don't know what to do

are your front wheels turned all the way in one direction? if so grab steering wheel and turn it in the direction the wheels are turned--Pull HARD and try to shift and see if that works for ya.

It seems to be stuck. I pull it towards me and try to take it down but it doesn't go easily.

Do you mean that it’s stuck that the shifter will not come out of park or does it still move through the gears but with a lot of effort?
