I don't understand what your problem is. Are you having trouble moving the gearshift lever? Or do you have a rough shifting once you put it in gear?

Sounds like the classic A drum failure. Time to visit a transmission shop, unless you are a good tech with the appropriate tools and lifts.

I agree, take it back there ASAP!

For these cars, a transmission rebuild is quite pricey (new-used tranny is about $800) a complete rebuild can cost you $8k easy. It's not worth it. See what they can do for you.
