          You didn't happen to Chuck Norris kick your shifter, did you? I'm sure you'd notice by the angle of the shift knob and the oddness of it, but just making sure...

            The shift gate inside the transmission could have broken allowing the linkage to do what you've experienced. Unfortunately the only way to check that is to pull the transmission and split the case. I have a transmission that was stuck in one gear because of the broken shift gate. Here's what it looked like before I had it welded back together.



            Hopefully the cause of your problem is external and an easy fix. Good luck.
