Summary
CHEVROLET: DIFFICULT TO SHIFT OR UNABLE TO SELECT ALL GEARS. THE TRANSMISSION IS DIFFICULT TO SHIFT AND/OR IT CANNOT BE SHIFTED INTO ALL GEARS. THIS CONDITION MAY BE CAUSED BY A LOCATOR PIN LEFT IN PLACE THAT WAS MEANT TO BE REMOVED AT THE ASSEMBLY PLANT OR A SHIFT CABLE OUT OF POSITION. (COBALT SS/HHR SS). *PE

| Models: | 2008-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt SS, HHR SS |
| Equipped With RPO MU3 Manual Transmission |
Transmission is difficult to shift and or it cannot be shifted into all gears.
This condition may be caused by a locator pin left in place (see photo below) that was meant to be removed at the assembly plant or a shift cable out of position.
Inspect the transmission and shift linkage if the locator pin is still in place remove the pin and discard, retest transmission operation.
If the pin is not found in position inspect the shift cables for being properly seated in the cable bracket, if the cables are out of the bracket reseat the cable or cables and test operation.
If neither of the above conditions are found follow SI to properly diagnose the transmission shifting concern. Also reference the latest version of “Hard or Difficult Shifts with Manual Transaxle” to aid in hard to shift concerns.
