Not Driving when put in gear	Sign In

I have a 03 Kia Spectra (Automatic) and I went to leave in the morning and started my car and let it warm up (cold as hell outside). When I was going to take off I put in drive and the car didn't move, just rolled off the driveway. None of the gears would catch, not Reverse or any other gear beside park. It has Trans Fluid, Oil, Anti-Freeze/Coolant is full, Power steering and Break fluid (not sure if that helps). I'm not all that good when it comes to Transmissions but it was working fine the day before and now nothing. Please Help.

Maybe a broke cable.
If you give the car a little gas what happens?

you will have to get under car now this is if its rear wheel drive and check to see if the selector moves from park to drive if not like the other reply said you have a broke cable double check before you spend lots on a mechanic shop good luck

When I put it in any gear (L, 2, D, R,) and press on the gas it does the same as if its on N and I press the gas. No movement, just rolls down the driveway and revs. Kicks into park just fine and wont move. I only hope its the cable.
