Sounds like you most likely need new Mounts
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 sounds like the transmission shifter linkage is disconnected.
If there is a loud noise when shifting from park into drive, it may be a transmission problem. One should shift slowly, as the transmission could disengage itself.
drive slower
No
No sir, it is front wheel drive.
Speed sensor on rear of transmission where speedometer drive used to be. If ecm receives no speed data transmission, it will send no shift signal.
It's a 4 speed front wheel drive transmission with electronic sensors for shifting.
my drive and 3rd not working what is causing this promblem is their a a promblem with the transmission
check the fuses.
Front wheel drive.
The size of the 4.3L motor would make this conversion very difficult. Plus the fact the 4.3l from an Astro van has a rear wheel drive transmission on in, and your Cavalier is front wheel drive. You either have to find a front wheel drive transmission that will bolt up to the 4.3 ( I don't know of any), or convert your Cavalier to rear wheel drive. Which is possible (anything is POSSIBLE), but very hard, requiring lots of fabrication.
