no first or second gear
Wednesday, August 24, 2005 1:09 AM
Hey guys,
I have a 95 cavalier with the 2.2 ohv 5spd. Tonight as i was on my way home i dropped it into second, let the clutch out and the car did nothing, so i put it back into third. and drove the rest of the way home. played with it in the driveway for a few minutes and could not figure at why i couldnt get it to go into first or second gear. all the other gears seem to work fine.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem? and how much it should cost to fix it.
I did do a search for this but came up with nothing.

Any help is appreciated thanks in advance.

I had the same problem, well it sounds the same at the least. When my 90 did this i had broken the shifter fork for the first/second gears. I was lucky to had had an other transmission lying around, although it was in some brutal shape. I took the two apart and figured out what parts i needed and made one good transmission. If you are lucky i would say you could buy one used for about 200 - 400 dollars. it took me about a weekend to do mine. If just a swap i would say it would take about 6 to 10 hours depending on how fast you work and how well you know your car. Hope this helps you
