Have you checked the linkage at the transmission itself as that could be where the problem is.

My 2003 chevy cavalier shifter is loose and wont shift. Its stuck in second gear the clutch is still working because i had to press it in to roll back and limp it home what should i do to fix it

First things first. Is the fluid full, You said the clutch still works. ? is it stuck in 2nd? or - only 2nd gear works and no other gear? No reverse? Second thing to check would be to look at the linkage and or cable/ or cables I need more info.

My 97 chevy cavalier is stuck in reverse and won't start what do i do

your car has a safety switch. If ur car has a man tran then it will be a clutch switch, if it is automatic then it is a nurture safety switch. I will not start in gear only Park or nurture. U say ur car is stuck in reverse so no it will not start. this is probably caused by a bad shift cable..

Your shifter cable sounds like it separated from the transmission or shifter or just broke. you are probably stuck in a moving gear so the neutral safety switch is disabling the ignition.

Sounds like you have a broken or disconnected shift cable.There are two cable attaching at different angles.Either disconnected at trans or below shifter.
