Zubie make her dance!
where is the shift solinoid located on a 2005 chevy cobalt. and how do you change it
YES The above answer is right. But the problem is that you will have to change the 97 computer,fuel pump, Engine and transmission wireing harness. You will also have to put the 700R4 transmission in that 97 Tahoe. Reason being is that the 91 computer that you HAVE to use won't shift the 4L60E that's in the Tahoe now. Your best bet is to put a VORTEC back in the Tahoe.
Engine compartment, on top of the transmission. Where the shift cable ends there should be a "box" with wires coming out of it. This is the neutral safety switch. Should be 2 ? bolts holding it on. Loosen bolts, take the shift cable out and change it.
Buy the Cable , then remove the screws that hold the broken cable and attach the new cable back.
The cable between the shift lever and the transmission may be bad.
The shift cable on an 01 Chevy Cavalier is replaced by removing the retaining screws, removing the cable from the shifter, and pulling it from the vehicle. A new cable can then be locked into place and bolted down.
Shift point setting may not properly set at the right pressure.This is controlled by the TV or shift cable. If you look where the air butterfly plate is under the hood, or air control, the 2nd cable attached next to the throttle cable on the side is the TV cable. There is a metal tab that can be pushed in to release the cable housing to adjust the transmission shift points. It only takes a couple of clicks at a time to make a difference in your shift pattern, so go a little at a time.
To change the shift linkage in an 1998 automatic Chevy Cavalier the shift linkage needs to be removed from the transmission and pulled from the cabin. The job requires removing the floor console to access the cable. After doing the so the cable can be snaked from inside the cabin, the install is the reverse of the removal.
The transmission uses a cable for linkage. If the car has consol shift the cable runs from the shifter to the transaxle. If it is a column shift the cable runs from a lever on the column to the transaxle.
THEY are up in the transmission and bolted to the valve body. Need to remove trans. Pan to service them. There is more then 1 shift solenoid.
I have seen the shift cable rot and go bad under the drivers floor carpeting causing the shift cable to freeze up and not let you operate the shift selector.
