Help!  Just tried to shift into first at a red light, something felt like it
fell out from under the front end of my van, and the van makes grinding
noises when I try to accelerate and I can't go anywhere - does not get into
gear.

Had it towed to my house.  Tow guy thinks it's the gear shift linkage in the
front.  Any adivice on repairing this, or any other ideas on possible cause
would be greatly appreciated!!!
