On our aveo it has a lever just under the top of the stick shift. A ring if you will. Pull up on the ring then push up and to the right. Needless to say you have to have the clutch in. Sometimes you have to release the clutch then push it back in to disingauge the gears. Hope this helps.
Does the shifter not move? IF it does move.. try going a little above or below the R and see if it does... check the transmission fluid.. make sure it is a reddish color and doesnt smelled burned.. if in fact this is an automatic transmission.. other then that I would say push it backwards put it in drive and head to the transmission shop...
Good luck

Not all cars are equipped with a block heater...in fact the vast majority of cars aren't...If you have one it is in the engine blocks cooling jacket, or it may be in the radiator hose. If you can locate a 3 prong electrical plug on the front of your Aveo, follow the cord back to the engine and you'll see where it is.
I had to replace battery cable--radio now does not work without "code" --anti theft code supposedly either put in by factory or previous owner (i bought it used at car dealer), local chev dealer could not find code and was no help. am i the only one that has this problem?? other than buying new radio what can i do? thanks![/QUOTE]
you must remove radio and get the serial # then go to dealer and they will give you the code, some times they can get the code with the vin #, good luck.
Apparently the timing belt came off and caused considerable engine damage. On checking problems on internet this appears to be a not uncommon problem with this model.
