It sounds like you might be dealing with an issue related to the brake booster or a vacuum leak, which could explain the heavy brake pedal and transmission not unlocking. Start by checking the vacuum hose connected to the brake booster for any cracks or disconnections. Also, inspect the brake booster itself for any signs of damage. If the issue persists, it might be best to have a professional mechanic take a look, as brake system problems can be safety-critical. Let me know how it goes or if you have any other questions!
