OK, I screwed up.
Took a shortcut to (not from) my favorite backwoods bar. This involves crossing a low water bridge (creek) that was a bit frozen. As we all know, ice doesn't compress well. Dented up the bumper, tore up the air dam, broke a headlight, etc. Oh well, it's just a truck.
Problem is I no longer have Park. Granted, as far as gears go Park is somewhat overated, but I do miss it. As I shift from R to P, it doesn't engage and just remains in reverse. I have to start in N, but can remove the keys by shifting to where P used to be.
I don't know squat about automatic transmissions. Where do I begin looking for the problem. There's trans fluid on the dip stick, and no signs of leakage on garage floor. Could water in the engine compartment gotten into something, like a Juice connection? Or did I bend something up underneath?
Advice and guidance much appreciated.
