SOURCE: the shifter moves freely in the gear box like some linkage broke

If both cable ends are attached then the cable broke. Replace it.

SOURCE: transmission problems (gear linkage)

The gear linkages are not correctly aligned.
Is the gearbox mounting in exactly the same place as when you removed it?
Even a 1/4 inch will offset the gears.
hope this helps

SOURCE: The manual transmission gear shift

take out the console, look on youtube for videos of others doing this. most likely you are going to need a saturn shifter bushing repair kit which you can get on ebay for less than 20 bucks.

SOURCE: 2002 mercury sable wont go into gear. shifter

ok sounds like the transmission might be your problem
first you would need to change the transmission filer by pulling the transmission plate and draining and replace filter and fluids new fluids prefferably. if that doesnt fix it. you could have a sensor or computer part out only real way to know is to take to shop to get looked at. hope this helps good luck

Failed Transaxle

They only last about 80,000 miles & if you never change the fluid ,

MY 04 sunfire grinds when i switch to 5th gear!!

hi there
when you shift into 5th gear take it real slow and easy on it this is a result of the syncranizer in fifth gear going out if you take it gentle this will last a while without having to replace it hope this helps you have a great day
