Hey everyone I am new to the site and have a question on my sons 1996 Grand Prix SE 3100. It will not go into gear when you shift it from park. Reverse lights come on, I can start it in neutral, no key issues. It just won't go. Every once in a while I can get it to go into drive if I play with it long enough. Reverse is impossible...
Any thoughts? Thanks

trans most likely is bad.

Sometimes it will go into drive, once in drive it will drive fine. Easily shifts on road. Just won't go into gear without a LOT of working the shifter.

Sounds to me like something came loose. I had a new engine put in about a year ago which means they had to remove my trans, when they put it back in I was having problems with it not shifting when out of drive.
apparently something was loose as the mechanic reached with a tool of some kind from the front of the car down to the trans and popped something back in. Trans has been fine ever since.
I have a 97 gt so I am pretty sure its the same trans.

Sounds like the safety switch that prevents it from going into gear without applying the brake

Moved to the proper section.

Would I be able to move the shifter if the NSS is bad? I can hear it click on the column. I removed the lower shroud on the column and the cable in the switch moves, don't know enough to know when they're good or bad. I also went to the yard and got two other positioning sensors and tried those but it didn't change anything.
Thanks for the help!
