I have a 2003 dodge neon SE 2.0 liter L4 SFI SOHC 16V, 4 dr sedan. my problem is that the car will not go into gear or move at all. it still starts and runs great it just wont catch gears and move. Could it be the linkage is broken or needs adjusted or could it be the drive train is shot or could it be the neutral safety switch?

If it was the neutral safety switch it more than likely wouldn`t start at all or start when without pushing on the clutch.it sounds more like the linkage could be damaged(think these are cable) or its out of adjustment and needs adjusting.does it feel like its going into gear(like it does when working) but not engaging if so it could be a problem with the transmission.first have the linkage checked out.
