That is certainly a possibility. Shifter linkage can cause problems with transmissions but you cannot know for certain without getting a little closer to the problem.

If the transmission shifts out of and back into park and the wheels actually lock then it's PROBABLY not a shift linkage problem. If you aren't mechanically inclined you may need to take the vehicle to a specialist.

If the transmission is shifting out of park normally but the transmission will not engage, you probably have something wrong with the transmission, such as the hydraulic pump, internal valve body, clutch pack or any of a number of other potential problems.

Good luck.

What can be the cause for a 1992 Saturn SC2 with a standard transmission not to go into second or reverse?

If your car isn't going into 2nd or reverse, chances are its a a worn synchro(s). You should look in to a re-man tranny or have that oen repaired...Answeri know this... This happend to my 1992 Saturn. the car still works in the other gears, but you phisically cant get shifter down to 2nd reverse, and i think 4th too. (at least not smoothly) when we took the plastic panels and toy like pieces apart around the shifter a bent bar was discovered. between the shifter and the front. making it machanically unable to move the "arms" if you will. we bent the bar back streight it worked again.im not a machanic but this was my problem and i bet its this one tooPS. i cant spell,Transmission linkage. Probably broke after some harsh shifting... its a cheap fix good luck


Why the sky waves are not used in the transmission of T.V. signal?

when the frequency range is more than 40mhz then the ionosphere is totaly unable to reflect the signal back to the earth.as we know that the frequency range of TV signals is 100mhz-200mhz.so the transmission of TV signals via sky waves is not possible.


Why a transmission dont go in gear?

There are many reasons why a transmission may not engage. Since the question is not more specific, here are a couple possibilities: If it's an automatic transmission, and you are unable to move the shifter, the problem could be caused by the neutral lockout switch or the release relay. If the shifter can move into position but the transmission won't engage, it could be, 1)low fluid, 2) the hydraulic pump, 3) the internal valve body, 4) internal seals, 5) the clutch pack. If it's a stick shift and you aren't able to shift into gear with the engine running but it shifts when the engine is off, the clutch isn't disengaging. If it goes into gear but nothing happens when you let out the clutch, the clutch is worn out. There are other possibilities, but that's an overview of some of the possibilities.
