Help-wont shift into forward

[coralee]

Worked fine last week. noticed a small amount of gear lube leaking from bottom filler screw, bought new screw with washer (the new one is magnetic the old had no magnet) topped off lube (maybe 1/4 of a quart)-old still looked like new. Now shifter won't go into forward position. It will in neutral but not in gear. If some force is applied it stalls the engine. any one know someone who can fix it soon?? I'm willing to pay. If you can speak in mechanic baby talk I might be able to follow instructions otherwise. Any help much appreciated.
