Assuming this car has an automatic transmission, the neutral safety switch is located on the transmission where the shift linkage attaches.
Both. The Monte Carlo SS had a floor shifter (what I own), but the regular monte's had column shift
there is no fuse that makes the transmission shift the transmission shifts on cylinoids and rpms
cant take off from drive got to manually shift automatic tranny
Sounds like the fluid level is low. Also check the condition of the auto transmission fluid, it should be cherry red. You may also need the filters cleaning.
The shift solenoids are located on the valve body. you can get to it by removing the side cover on the transmission. The side cover is hard to remove. You have to lower the craddle down far enough to get it out. This can be diffucult without it being on a lift but it can be done.
Yes, most montes in 85 had the column gear shift.
The switch on the brake pedal may not be working, if you unplug the wiring from it it should shift if this is the problem.
Well the first thing to check is the vehical speed sensor (VSS), does you speedometer work? If that checks out ok, take it to the trans shop for an estimate usually not that much, and often times free.
No. It may shift hard or late, but the light will not go on. Ask your local auto parts store to scan the code(s) from your vehicle. The code(s) will help lead you to the reason the check engine light is on.
Possibly weak u-joints or transmission mounts
It engages the band witch makes your tranny shift into gear.
