Well either the clutch has gone,
which can happen like you describe,
I've seen them torn apart with no reported nasty noises!
Or a selector fault.
And I've also seen f/w/d vehicles with failed C/V joints that would give your symptoms.
Best bet would be getting a mobile tech in for a look see.
Or it's time to tow to a garage.
Sorry I cant be more help.

1. The car is automatic
2. Just had new cv joints put in

3. Where does the shift, connect to the transmission,, maybe the levers got disconnected or something...
4.. So it is not electronic, right..

thanks...PL
