It's a car
New G35! Stuck in gear

I'm going to be purchasing a low milage 2004 G35 automatic. It has some body damage and needs a radiator among a few other things. The guy hit a deer.

The main issue is that the car is currently stuck in drive. This occurred after the collision and the car worked fine beforehand.

I've worked on a lot of cars in my time but never one of these. What could be the issue here? Could it be be major transmission failure? Seems unlikey as the deer didn't go under the car or anything. Is there a shift linkage visible under the car? What should I inspect before final purchase.

There is a shift linkage to the transmission under the car. I bet something happened there.

Shifting is controlled electronically on that car, probably damaged wiring or possibly a bad shifter.

What is the linkage for under the car? I wonder if its some kinda redundancy system.
