Reminds me of the time my car got stuck in drive. It would drive in neutral, and in reverse, it would load the engine, but I would go nowhere. I took it to Amco transmission, and they said it would be $300 or so to fix, no matter what the problem was. So I said I would try to fix it first. I drove by Amco at about 30 miles an hour, and pushed up up into reverse, the back wheels squealed for a second, and it killed the engine. When I restarted the engine everything worked fine and it never failed until I traded a few years later. I figured it would cost me no more if it was totally destroyed so I had nothing to lose, and as it turns out, the big "jar" was all it needed to get unstuck.
