Why is the automatic transmission stuck in drive and the shifter just moves freely on a 1997 Chevy Cavalier?

It sounds like the transmission shifter linkage is disconnected.

Do you need to stop the car in order to shift gears when driving an automatic transmission?
you must stop the car to switch from/to drive, park, reverse. no, you don't have to switch from 1st, to 2nd, to 3rd. that's what's automatic no, you dont have to stop to change between all forward gears ie 1 st 2 nd 3 ed 4 th all that is done automatically, you dont even have to think about it. no need to stop when manually shifting gears(ie racing your automatic) if you like to choose when you automatic changes from 1st to 2nd to D to OD you can, usually you can up shift from 1st to 2nd to D to OD by just pushing the sifter to the next gear but not OD to D to 2nd to 1st because of detents in the shifter will catch the shifter, unless you press the button or pull back the column shifter and down shift. last gear(D)to netural(N) you usually can freely move back and forth. just dont try to push the button and go into R (for race) while your driving it will destroy you transmission and put you in the ditch or on comming trafic. dont go from D to 1 or you will probably red line your engine and blow it!!!
Is there a way to shift a 1999 Mercury Mystique automatic out of park after the battery has died?
1. Lift the shift tower cover off the center console 2. at the passenger side of the shifter & down into the center console there will be a mechanism with a small plastic arm pointing at a metal pin. 3. Swing the small plastic arm so it is no longer pointing at the pin & press the shifter button. You should now be able to freely move the shifter as normal. If you place the shifter in park again, you may have to rotate the plastic arm again if you need to select a different gear again.

Why does a 1993 Geo Storm automatic shift lever move freely but the transmission does not shift into any gears?
You may want to check your shifter cables to see if they are operating correctly. Turn on the igniton(but DO NOT start) and have someone shift the car, You'll need to have the hood open and watch the shift lever on top of the trans-axle. If it moves while your helper shifts then you might need to get your transaxle rebuilt if it barely moves or doesn't move at all then you need to replace the cables.
How can i tell if my slave cylinder is moving far enough?
Hey, what's up. What you can do is with you drive axles removed, put your transmission in neutral and spin the output shaft of your transmission. The shaft should move freely. Now put it in gear and it should not move freely. Have somebody push the clutch pedal in to disengage the transmission. Now spin the output shaft. If it spins freely, your good.

How do you replace front right drive shaft 1997 850 Volvo with automatic transmission?
undo the hub nut in centre of wheel it is very tight so a long bar required. Undo the balljoint so the the strut can move freely and then just pull on the hub and the shaft will pop out of the transmission depending on the shaft you will have to undo the bearing carrier but this is on the long shaft not the short one.
