shift linkage is gone.
Tuesday, February 21, 2012 9:31 AM
02 cavalier 2.4l
Getrag f23 trans.
The car will go into 3rd/5th and thats it I can get it into all the gears if I remove the shift assembly and pull the cables manually so I'm pretty sure it's the linkage but I want others opinions just to make sure... If it is the linkage where can i find it for this trans. I checked gmpartsdirect.com and rockauto.com they only listed for the auto. I'd rather get a new one then pull it from the junk yard and have the same problem. Any helps appreciated.
Thanks guys!

Dealer only part, expect to get bent over. Or at least thats what I found when I though mine was broken. It got fixed with some jb weld for now.

I kinda figured it would be dealer only... You ever price any from the dealer?

Well the trans it broke to it pops out of 3rd at about 3500rpm. The linkage is stretched on all gears and is very sloppy when trying to shift. I'm pretty sure I need a new trans and linkage.

we made the shift linkage for our 98z out of some flat stock. it is also for a early 90's z trans mated to a 3500.

I need both cables for the linkage but they have to be off a +2000 cavalier/sunfire with a getrag f23.
If you have a set I would be more than willing to take them off your hands!
Thanks.

I found some on ebay for my 98 GT last week, was $82ish. AC Delco part, but mine is an Isuzu instead of Getrag.

I'm sure that if it comes to it Im going to buy the isuzu linkage and see if I can make it work otherwise I'm going to have a custom cable made.

If anyone has a linkage for the getrag please let me know I only have 3rd gear now.

Go to the local junkyard and pull the cables.

Isuzu cables will not work.
