What could be wrong if you can shift your 1997 Cavalier into drive reverse etc but the engine just revs and won't grab the gears?

tourque converter. Clutch,if this has a standard shift they had a problem with the differential stripping, hopefully not the problem but it is common. Check your fluid level. If the car gets out of drive and the car can be pushed your link should be fine. The problem then is either in the torque converter or in the control valves inside the transmission.
