The shifter cable of my 2001 s-type jaguar broke while i was driving on the highway, then my friend helped me replace it, and now it starts, but whenever I put the gear on reverse, neutral, or drive, the car doesn't move, it acts like its on neutral, and whenever i put it on park, it parks. So what is going on, and what do i need to do?

while you were driving??

check the fluid level. beyond that, you will need a trans shop to see what has failed. it may be internal. does not make sense replacing the cable and no engagement.

is it hooked up properly??

Ok, thanks. But I don't want to be cheated. I want to make sure its not the transmission before I go to the mechanic.

assuming you did everything correctly, it is the only possibility.

double check your work to be sure.
