Not really a Subaru but I figured someone may know what's up with this.

My brothers 98 Mazda Mellenia 2.5L wont go into park or the lowest drive gear. It just stops at reverse and 2.

Obviously the keys are stuck in it since you can't take them out until the car is in park....

Is this internal transmission? Linkage??? Etc

Car drives fine in reverse and drive...like there is nothing wrong with it

Thanks for any help
