Shifter is messed up

Shifter is messed up

While driving home after auto zone read my check engine light code ( it was speed sensor module which turned off after they checked it) and my shifter started acting up, not going into gears. When it would go into gear, it wouldn't go past 40. And now the end result is stuck in neutral. I can freely move around the shifter with car in and off with and without the clutch. But nothing happened. Is it the master or slave cylinder or the linkage?

"Checking the Master cylinder fluid level will tell you immediately if you have a leak in the clutch hydraulic system.

I am also confused to if you have a manual or automatic. The speed sensor on a manual is for the speedometer while on a automatic controls a lot more. A failed speed sensor on an automatic would cause a limp mode which locks the car into 2nd gear."
