Of course the engine will not shut down unless in neutral. It would not shift out of reverse. In the past I had manually moved the transmission shift input from the engine compartment but couldn't get it to move. If I raised the back of the coach I could see the shifter through the wheel well but couldn't reach it. I WILL NOT crawl under without cribbing. I found a 5' long wooden dowel in my shop and was able to reach under from the back of the coach enough to manually push the linkage and get it into 3rd....Good enough . I drove ahead halfway down my driveway and backed into my shop perfectly in one shot. It still would not go out of reverse. I turned the key off, found my trusty wooden dowell and pushed the linkage out of reverse , shutting down the engine.
At least it is in the warm shop. I know what one of my winter projects will be....
Thanks for the responses guys...I may need to talk to Michael about it.

Went through the same thing earlier this year
Mine ended up having particulate matter in shifter that got in through the airlines (Have since put a filter on my air line leading in to shifter to dump any junk out of the line)
