Hey guys just rear ended a pickup truck. Most of damage is on top and left fender. But here's the thing, the car is in park but you can move it around likes its in neutral. the trans did not get hit can it be the trans went bad from the hit. It was working great up until the accident. Also the plastic trim that goes around the sparkplugs was broken what is that part called and can I buy a new one anywhere. The air box was broken too gong to try junk yard but don't know how it comes out. Well any help would be appreciated with any of the problems listed thanks. Its a 2006 Stratus STX

 

bent frame structure? does trany still work at all maybe broke linkage

 

It's possible that the hit broke the diff pin. Or on the lighter side, could have just broke the linkage.

 

Hidden damage. Need to get in there and inspect everything.

 

FWD, the linkage (if I'm correct) connects to an arm that is on a cover that actually shifts inside the housing , I had a Daytona and the little ball-stud end jumped out of the socket. Simple fix if it is anywhere the same . Can be done from impact or even jambing the gear shift (assuming this is a manual trans)
