1999 s80 will not shift into gear
My S80 suddenly would not shift into gear yesterday. The mechanical and electronic releases are working fine. When taken out of park I can pull the handle back but nothing happens, it stays in park. I took the cover off the shifter and can see the cable moving but there is a fair amount of resistance and it gets tighter the farther back I pull but there is no indication that anything is engaging. The light continues to stay on P and I cannot move the car.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

It's your shifter cable. The plastic coating on the cable housing has deteriorated and coming off so the housing gives & expands instead of moving the inner cable. You'll need to replace it.
