Snow packed in around transmission and transfer case causing shifter linkage to be physically impeded. Could not put vehicle in park. Ended up stuck in reverse with lever in park, causing a situation where vehicle could not be restarted or moved. Had to get under vehicle to physically remove all snow from around transmission and transfer case before shifter linkage became unstuck. |
