Ok, here is the problem I have been having just recently, 01 cavalier sedan, 5 spd manual trans. When the vehicle is turned off, I can shift into any gear, but sometimes when I start the car from neutral I will not be able to shift into any gear, I can turn the car off put it into first then start and drive it in first, but almost impossible to get out of that gear without turning the car off, shifting, then restarting. I took it to the garage when it first started this problem and sure enough it worked fine for them, also worked fine after I took it home, went to the store later that night and after getting there started to act up again when leaving, I have checked the fluid, it was a little low so added to top it off, I am suspecting either master or slave clutch cylinder? Any ideas before I just have the garage replace both and clutch since it is almost at 100K miles and figured it should be time for that clutch to be getting worn down and might need replaced soon anyway.
