linkages have bushings and adjustments on them
not a big job for a mechanic that knows what to look for
It sounds like the transmission shifter linkage is disconnected.
To change the shift linkage in an 1998 automatic Chevy Cavalier the shift linkage needs to be removed from the transmission and pulled from the cabin. The job requires removing the floor console to access the cable. After doing the so the cable can be snaked from inside the cabin, the install is the reverse of the removal.
The 2001 Chevy Cavalier automatic transmission shift linkage is held in place with a swivel nut on each end of the shift linkage. Turn the swivel nuts to the left and the shifting linkage will come off. Reverse the process to install your new shift linkage.

The shifter knob on a 1995 Chevy Cavalier is thread on. To remove it just spin the knob counter clockwise until it comes off.

The 1997 and 1999 Chevy Cavalier transmissions are exactly the same. The transmissions, transmission linkage, and transmission mounts are identical.
If it is standard, it is the linkage. If auto, the trans needs overhauled.
