My chevy aveo won't go into gear. The gear shift says you are in Drive but the car acts as if it is in park

  • evenstar621 Nov 05, 2009

    Where do we look to see if this is happening and where is this cable?

Most likely the shifter cable broke or became disconnected. Have someone shift the car (engine off, parking brake on) while someone else watches the transmisssion linkage to see if it moves. If it does move there is an internal transmission problem if it doesn't it is just a problem with the cable.

    The cable goes from the shifter to the transmission, you may be able to see it from under the hood if you look down by the transmission otherwise it will be from under the vehicle.

Possible broken shifter linkage. Check to make sure the actual lever going into your transmission which controls your actual shifting is moving when you move the gear selecter. If it does you probably have a valvebody problem in your transmission.

SOURCE: chevy aveo 2007 5door, shift handle feels lose, car goes

if its a 5 speed, yes the shifting is loser than normal cars. the reverse is all jacked up.. if its anything like my 06 aveo when you shift into reverse you have to lift the little circle thing on your shifter up ad act like your putting it into first.. If it grinds try doing it slower. I HATE this transmission. Chevy did a horrible job on picking it. I always grind reverse no matter what

2008 Chevy Aveo acts like it's stuck in park. But shifts and you can hear it go into gear but won't move.

Hello. It seems your Chevrolet's differential either has extremely dirty gear oil in it or the transmission, itself, is damaged due to a lack of oil/maintenance. This explains why your car goes into any 'drive' gear but won't move. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.

Are your brake lights working? Shift lock solenoid needs to receive a signal from your brake pedal switch so if you have lights out or blown fuse it could lock in park.

I have a 2008 chevy aveo that won't shift into gear unless we press the shift lock release. What is causing that and how expensive is it to fix?

It could be a few things....I just had this same problem with my 2008 chevy aveo this week. Also, my check engine light came on the very next day after the gear shifter started locking. I called Bob Bell and they told me that the gear shifter locking is probably due to a sensor going bad that tells your car it is in park. However, after taking my car to my brother-in-law (who has very LITTLe knowledge about repairing cars), we discovered that my brake lights were not working either. He told me that is why my check engine light is on - because it is extremely dangerous to drive without brake lights. We checked the fuses to make sure there was no fuse blown and they were all just fine. So bottom line, the problem was that there is a brake switch under your dash board where your brake is. My switch keeps sticking and will probably eventually need to be replaced. When the switch works properly, my brake lights work fine, my gear shifter unlocks and my check engine light goes out. Not sure how much it is to fix this switch if that is the problem but I hope it helps!

Cannot get 05 chevy aveo out of park Auto transmission

I don't have a solution.... but it's a fuse. Something is causing it to blow, locking the transmission. On top of your gear shift, there a black tab, pop tab off, insert a key or something (it's a button) and it will unlock your transmission and you'll be able to drive it. My car has this issue now, been in the shop for over a week. For me, it's my stop light fuse.
