on the front side of shifter handle is a slot with a metal clip in it use a pick or small screwdriver and pry the clip out the handle will lift off
Both. The Monte Carlo SS had a floor shifter (what I own), but the regular monte's had column shift
Any steering column from a 1978-83 Chevy Malibu, 1978-87 El Camino, 1978-88 Monte Carlo could work, depending if it's a column or floor shift
On the front of the shifter handle there is a metal clip in which a flat head screwdriver can be inserted. Pry the clip out and the handle lifts off.
cant take off from drive got to manually shift automatic tranny
Yes, most montes in 85 had the column gear shift.
The shift solenoids are located on the valve body. you can get to it by removing the side cover on the transmission. The side cover is hard to remove. You have to lower the craddle down far enough to get it out. This can be diffucult without it being on a lift but it can be done.
The switch on the brake pedal may not be working, if you unplug the wiring from it it should shift if this is the problem.
A fast transmission shift on a 1997 Monte Carlo can be attributed to several factors, including a well-maintained transmission fluid, properly calibrated shift points, and a functioning throttle position sensor. Additionally, performance-enhancing modifications, such as a shift kit or upgraded valve body, can improve shift responsiveness. Proper engine tuning and maintaining optimal RPM levels also contribute to quicker shifts, ensuring the transmission engages smoothly and efficiently.
Assuming this car has an automatic transmission, the neutral safety switch is located on the transmission where the shift linkage attaches.
what governor??????????????? The PCM(Power-train Control Module) GOVERNS both the engine SHIFT POINTS & TOP SPEED. You need a SPEED SHOP to raise or remove your GOVERNOR by reprograming your PCM. ZZPerformance will do this for about $100.00, as well as other shops. It's worth it.
Remove the dress plate under the steering column. There is a clip there for the shift indicator, if you shift on the column. There are two nuts on studs, one on each side of the column, remove these nuts, and the steering column will drop down. The switch is on top of the column just lower then the fastening bracket. Unplug the wiring, remove the screws that retain the switch, install new one and adjust. Put everything back together.
Usually on steering column lower if column shift, next to floor shift (remove panels) if floor shift or at transmission integrated with reverse light switch
