Won't go into gear
When you say the vehicle "won't go into gear," do you mean you cannot move the lever out of PARK, or do you mean that when you move the lever out of PARK the transmission will not engage?
If the lever will not move out of PARK, check your BRAKE LIGHT fuse, your BRAKE LIGHT switch, and the SOLENOID at the shift mechanism.
If your lever moves out of PARK easily (too easily), it is possible that your shift linkage has broken or come loose.
If your lever moves out of PARK normally but the transmission does not engage, it's time to have the car towed to the transmission repair shop.

my initial guess is that your neutral safety switch is not operating correctly. This is a switch that tells the computer that you are in fact pressing the brake and to allow the shifter to be unlocked, among some other values that switch calculates.
is this a manual? or auto transmission?
