Default Shift ?

Car is stranded in my drive way. Can I put in gear from under neath? If so driver side, passenger side, or from the rear end? My shifter moves but not doing anything, feels like something came apart.Thank you, it is automatic.

You probably would not want to mess with the shifter from underneath just in case the car rolled while you're under there.
Sounds like your shifter cable is broken, that happen to me before. I had it towed and fixed.
