Hello everybody I am having a problem with my transmission in my 2000 Deville. I was backing up the other day and put the car in reverse then I went to shirt to drive but the car would not respond. The car is stuck in the reverse posistion on the digital dash. The transmission selector will allow me to move the transmission into park, neutral, drive etc... but I cant start the car becasue the dash still reads reverse, since I can put the car in park and other gears it leads me to beleive it to be a sensor/switch problem, If you also beleive that it is the problem please also advise on where on the trans this switch is becasue I cant seem to find it. I was thinking the park/neutral saftey switch. Please help with any ideas since this is the only car I have and need it to be fixed ASAP. Please email me at parlain44@yahoo.com Thanks for all the help.

 

sounds to me that the manual valve that slides when you change gears is stuck.
