Ive used the search but since im not a paying memeber the google search is not all that hence me asking. Mines a 92 GXE auto and i noticed that lately when i go to put it in drive it dosnt do anything but if i move the shifter just past the "D" then goes in no problem. It dosnt seem to be slipping or anything so i was wondering if something could be adjusted instead of having to rebuild the tranny. I guy i work with has started to have the exact same problem. He says he just wiggles his shifter when he puts it in drive and it starts to work fine. Im sure others have had this issue so what did you do to fix? Help would be very appreciated.

 

Replace the shifter bushing...Get it from the dealer,it's pretty cheap..

 

Here's a good info thread on the subject...

^^^What he said, also, there are two of them. The one on the shifter can easily be accessed from underneath the car. The other one is at the transmission where the arm from the shifter connects to the tranny. Change them both. They are like a buck fifty each.

Real easy and makes a huge difference.

 

That is awesome guys. Thanks for the quick response, info, link, and diagram MyGreenMax94!! The DIY seems simple enough so i know what i got planned for Saturday. Ive told the guy i worked with about the site so hopefully he will come on here and join as well. This kinda info makes it all worth while. Def gona get my $20 for support of the site lol.

 

I used to have this same issue! mine is a 93 SE, but i took it to a mechanic my uncle knows well and he fixed it for me..

 

yep have the same problem as well. i'll try to do the same.

 

Took me only 15min to do and it solved the issue. got the part from the dealer for $2.
