Want this question answered?
I am having the same problem on my 94. It will go into drive but that is it.
Simply start the vehicle with the shift lever in the Park position. If you wish to go backward place the shift lever in the R location. When you're ready to move forward place the shift lifter in the D position. Only shift from park to reverse or to drive when the vehicle is sitting still.
car will jerk forward and then go in reverse
Check to make that the brake lights are working - shift interlock is in the same circuit - could ba a bad fuse. You can try turning the key (with engine off) o to the first position (Unlock) shift to neutral to start vehicle and then shift to "Drive or Reverse"
are you pressing the brake as you try to shift?
does it shift into reverse and wont drive? if so its your tranny it needs to be replaced
Generally shifting from reverse to drive, while still rolling, is possible but not recommended. This places a lot of stress on the transmission and other components of the drive train.
Park, reverse, neutral, Drive and low
Check to see if the stop lights are working--same circuit as the shift interlock, Perhaps blown fuse? Try turning the key to 1st position, shifting to neutral to start vehicle and then shift to Drive or Reverse
shift position sensor failed, or wires are shorted
Check to see if brake lights are working shift interlock is wired to this circuit If they are not check fuses As a immediate fix turn key to 1st position (Unlock) shift to neuttral to start car and then you should be able to shift to reverse or drive
Absolutely not.
