I have the same problem...its really hard to shift into first so we turn off the beretta then shift it into first but it usually makes a reall annoying sound when we start it and we bolted it into place with a bolt but it still runs like it does and its very nerve racking when driving in town! please find this answer!
If the shift knob on a 1995 Chevy Beretta broke off from the metal bar, the metal bar is called the shift lever. The shift lever might be available at a reduced price from an automobile salvage yard.
If your transmission doesnt shift until 35 mph then check your vaccum hose on your transmission.... i had the same prob. and that is what it was because it is a vaccum shift tranny and without the vaccum then it will shift at really high rpms.
sounds to me like its probably the alternator.
where is the shift solinoid located on a 2005 chevy cobalt. and how do you change it
The only factory switches ever installed on a Chevy Beretta center console are power window switches, and trunk popper switch on the shift plate. There is also the cigarette lighter/power source. Anything else is aftermarket and added by the previous owner.
where is the shift interlock selenoid located on a 2001 chevy malibu
On the chevy solenoid, you may be looking for the shift solenoid, and wondering where it is. The shift solenoid on this car is located inside the motor.
97 Chevy Z71 truck will not shift into third gear.
if it doesnt shift into gears smoothly or at all. rev. is the first to go in most cases.
The VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) is probably bad. Also check the fuses.
Are you asking about the shift lever on a column shift car or the console shift handle?
From the neutral position, pull the shift lever toward you then down, this would be frist greer, aka first gear.
