Wouldn't hurt to check it out. Pretty simple to remove shifter console.

Look under the hood to see if the cable and lever on the transmission moves when someone moves the shift handle inside the car (engine NOT running).

The gear indication lights on the dash are merely controlled by a switch at the shift handle end, so they don't tell you much.

This is a worse case scenario I am presenting. If your shift cable is still attached and operating correctly and you have been keeping up on your fluid changes (3x3 method). Your fluid could possibly not look burnt and all the clutch disc material has finally worn away preventing the transmission from grabbing.

No CEL would be present being all the valve bodies and solenoids are working properly etc. But with no working clutch discs and recent fresh fluid, the car I believe would behave as you have described of no CEL, clean looking fluid and won't propel the car even though it shifts through the gears.

CEL - Check Engine Light

Also, usually if there is a tranny fault (like a solenoid problem) the D4 flashes. Your's appears to be solid on whatever gear you place it in.
