My car seems as if stuck in park. Wont budge and stuck on a hill. The lever moves through gears TOO easily. The lights change on the dash into drive etc etc. Would I be right in saying the cable has either come loose or snapped hence not going into gear? And is there a way to get it into gear manual...

The car has done about 180000 miles on a H reg. It did back fire once on the M25. wasnt sure if exhaust fell off at first! A...
