Default 95 Accord Auto trans shift lever in park but transmission in drive. Help!!

Greetings community,

I have been having the following issue with the gears on my 1995 Honda Accord LX AT:

In "P" it goes into drive and in "N" it will be in reverse. When shifting to "D" or "R" they will not engage.

This has been occuring the last month after not using the car for several days.

There are no trouble codes and AT fluid is properly filled and I use genuine Honda ATF.

Car has just over 48K and its only used for work which is about 15 miles to/from home/work.

I am stumped on this and have no idea what might be happening. Once it gets out of this gear shift misalignment, it work fine.

Today I took the day off and lifted the front end of the car to check on a few things and with the AT shifter in park, i started the car and the front wheels were spinning (in drive).

The dash and shift lever gear indicators match fine

No ATF in the cooling system and battery charged at 12.65V


Any feedback will be appreciated.
