4kq/qsw gear selector problem....

[Audimobiles at aol.com]

    Having a problem getting an '87 qsw into gear. At first the car wouldn't
engage reverse and back out of the driveway this morning. Whenever I tried
reverse I'd get the back up lights and 4th gear. After a couple more minutes
of trying to find reverse I lost 'em all (1-5). The shifter just flops
through the pattern without resistance. Car is stuck in neutral. I've browsed
trough the archives and caught a few pointers but not much. Anybody have any
advice on where I should begin? I don't have a Bentley for it yet, but I've
looked over the diagrams in the family album and my press release packet.
    Thanks for any help!
