Dodge Charger 06 SXT will not shift gears

[MoneyMaking]

Hello Car Lovers........I am in need of some help with my DodgeCharger 2006 SXT.

My hubby installed front brakes, spark plugs, and freon to my car.  The car worked fine and even ran smoother afterwards.   Today, while leaving for lunch, I started my car and it started but it would not let me shift the gears.  It would not move.  It feels like it is stuck or broken.  Well a co-worker went outside and took a look at it because he said he had a Chrysler Sebring that did the same thing.  He came back and said he got it to move but it only starts in neutral.  So now, the car will not start while the car is in park.  To get home, I had to put the car in neutral to start it and turn it off in neutral and force it back in park position; which that is hard.

Can any of you guys help a young lady out?  What does this sound like? 

Thanks so much! 

Desperate Dodger......

A common problem with 06-07 chargers (and 300's / Magnums) is a little plastic piece (infamously known as "the pink thingy") under the shifter that breaks because it's made out of (evidently) weak plastic. When that goes, you cant move the shifter out of the park position. Is that what you mean by "it won't let you shift"?

With that said, youre more than likely to get a better answer at www.lxforums.com, since this is mostly dedicated to Classic Chargers. Im on there too, same screenname
