2011 Yaris won't shift out of first gear

Yes! Take the car to the shop and theyll quickly sort it out.

Or put it up on ramps and look yourself.

I looked at it and there is no obvious damage that I could see. The cable actuates the lever and the lever doesn't appear bent. The cable is still connected. So I guess it's the switch. I'm going have to have it towed to the Toyota place to have them look at. Their price is $264 for the switch and about $100 labor. Not too bad I guess but they need to look at it to be sure that it's the switch. Is it unusual for that switch to go bad only after 79000 miles?
