I was just driving home on the highway and noticed I was not able to shift into 5th, 3rd, 1st and Reverse Gear. I've read it could be Shift Linkage issue? I have not been able to jack the car up yet. Any ideas? Thanks

Losing all odd gears, I bet it is shifter cable issues. But, you have to jack it up, crawl under, and investigate.
Yeah it seems to be the Shift Linkage may have popped off and may need to zip tie it or wire it back, is what I've been reading.
The shifter cable likely came out of the bracket on the trans. It probably looks something like this: Do yourself a favor when you or your mechanic fix it and make it look like this for like no money and never have this problem again:
Thanks so much, is it on the passenger side of the car?

But, zbomb, if he has his tech do it, he won’t buy a pair of safety wire pliers!!! And this is a one wrench level, feel good diy.
Quick Update: The Shifter Linkage popped out, and I was able to tie it back into place with some wire/zip ties. Took it for a ride, and its shifting great again. Thanks all for the help.
