You have to unplug the electronic speedometer sensor located on the top rear of the transmission. It can be reached from above but its easiest to find with a lift. I have a 1990 cavalier and it has the same issue. I think its a problem with the sensor module that the speedo reader plugs into.
There are several things that can cause your 1995 Chevy Cavalier transmission not to go into drive or reverse. The most common cause is a lack of transmission fluid. A broken shifting fork will also cause the problem.
It may mean your transmission is damaged, and is applying too much torque. You may have lost fluid through a crack in the transmission. A qualified transmission mechanic can determine if the transmission needs to be repaired or replaced.
A car without a reverse or neutral gear needs a transmission overhaul. It is possibly due to improper fluid levels, or broken gears inside the transmission itself.
It is inside the pintal switch mounted to the top of the transmission. goes over the shift lever.
check your transmission fluid or it may be something electrical if your cavalier transmission is run by electronics. If not it may be a sun gear inside the transmission so you may need to get the transmission rebuilt.
The adjustment is on the shift cable that is connected on to the top of the transmission
Maybe a vacuum line?
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 2002 Cavalier has a reverse light switch. The switch can be bad, or have a loose connection causing the lights not to work.
transmission, drivers side behind the left front tire. Have to remove the tire to get to it. It just unscrews from the transmission. You can get a replacement part (Standard p/n LS224 $16.48) from www.RockAuto.com.
yes. It could be as simple as low transmission fluid or as serious a a pump failure. If you can find a place you trust, you should have it checked soon. vbd
An s-10 transmission with no reverse most likely has an internal problem. The shifter fork or a gear issue can cause no transmission reverse.
