It sounds like the Cabriolet has a possible problem with the shifter forks. The transmission will need to be pulled apart to see what the problem is for sure.

How do I know I am in fwd if the indicator light does not come on in a 97 k1500 manual transfer shift truck?

If I'm not mistaken, it appears that your truck is a "manual transmission"? There would be no indicator light - you shift into first gear, and then as you approve about 10 or 15 mph you would shift to second. I recommend the "learning manual transmission for dummies" - actually a very well written instruction book on learning how to shift.


How do you get transmission type from vin?

One would need the owners manual to cross reference. It is usually a 1 for manual and a 2 for automatic. One just has to find the position of the number on the vin serial(it is usually the second number that appears.)
