TRANSMISSION HELP!!!

I had the same problem a couple months ago. I replaced the manual gear positon sensor. Cost me about $45, took maybe 10 minutes to change.

maybe the shift lever position sensor on the tranny. I saw some posts a few days ago about this similar problem. I believe they said it was about $45 for the part if this is your problem. Also check for loose wires at the sensor and at the switch behind the dash. Does the switch work o.k.? I don't remember what model yours was. If it '87-91, the switch is easy to get to.
