Yes, it could.
Several things can cause Chevrolet Corvette gear shifting problems. Broken gear shift linkage is the most common problem. Worn gears in the transmission is also common.
Check
It turns on just fine, just doesn't shift into gear. Transmission fluid is full.
The Chevrolet Cavalier 200's gear shift light bulb is found by the N in the gear shift near the driver's side. To access it, two bolts must be removed underneath the arm rest, one under the cup by the shift, and one more under the rubber insert in the tray. Lift the console, and follow the wire to access the light itself.
check gear shift linkage if transmission is bad
The lift and pull reverse gear is found in cars like the Chevrolet Optra. To shift on to reverse, lift the ring below the gear knob and shift on to 1st gear like you would always do, but with the ring being held.
I live in Forest Park, Ga, and my gear shift got stuck and would not move, had it checked out and it was the gear shift cable, the price at Hessessy Pontiac was $85.00 but i found it at Terrry Cullen Chevrolet for $66.00 and $30.00 to install...
Stick shift, yes. Automatic, no.
Does the steering wheel have turning pressure on it, try turning wheel to pull pressure off the ign. ?
Yes, most montes in 85 had the column gear shift.
