Like you said something broke. that is a great guess. open the hood and jack up the car. you may need to remove the center console to get at the shifter. you want to get under the car and check the shifter cable to the transmission and see if its broke there or disconnected from the linkage. if its not then follow it into the cab through the floor and follow to the shifter. the cable amy be about 6 feet long maybe shorter or longer depending how it i run around. if its not broke under neath its inside. should be a matter of inspecting and removing panels to get at it. check youtube for any videos on disassembly for panels. sometimes it can help. either that or pry and pull till you get it off. if you don't have rear wheel drive then just open the hood and look at the top of the trany and you should see the shifter there and might have to remove some stuff to get at it. they pack stuff in there tight

SOURCE: Need to replace the shifter cable on a 2003 PT Cruiser

I got mine fixed. Had to change the cable and the whole shifter assembly. It wasnt too bad in price, less then $200 total, and my son-in-law changed it in about 1/2 hr in the driveway. Just go to the dealer and get the parts break down for that area and get the cable and chances are, you will need the assembly too.

Need to replace the shifter cable on a 2003 PT Cruiser

Have the EXACT same problem. 2005 Pt Cruiser w about 88,000 miles. Became hard to shift when cold and then bam ....something broke. Moves freely. I know I'm going to get screwed on this... what should it cost to have it fixed. The guy at a shop close by (figured close to make towing easier) started into this 'its a dealer only part and blah blah...at least an hour .... " He's going to send an estimate tomorrow. I'm in E. metro Atlanta
