    Why is it everytime there's a honest problem with an Aveo, the response is change the plugs. Next time my kitchen light goes out, I'll turn on the garden hose.

SOURCE: 2006 Chevy Aveo, can't shift car out of park

You need to replace your BTSI (brake transaxle shift interlock) solenoid. I have replaced MANY and it is the problem 99% of the time. The only other thing it could be is your BTSI fuse so check it first. All you have to do is remove the shifter assembly and install a new BTSI solenoid (couple of screws and two connector terminals) and you will be driving in no time. Hope this helps!!

Why will our 2004 Chevy Aveo not shift into fourth gear or "overdrive"?

Connecting it to a scan tool will give you the answer in the form of codes, AKA DTC codes. The engine light is the clue, the scan tool tells the answers via the codes. All the codes are online.

It sounds as though your valve body may have a lot of particulates that have entered into it causing the valves to act sluggishly. Unfortunately, this is a condition that can only be taken care of by your mechanic and is not something that the average person can fix themselves.

Shift into D the N started flashing green .

Try moving the shift lever from D towards the next gear away from N (not all the way, just hold it a little bit over). If the N light goes out and the D light acts normal, then your shift linkage needs to be adjusted so the transmission goes into gear exactly when the shift lever is in a detent.
If that isn't the problem, it's time to get a readout of the engine error code to see where the problem is. You can get this done at most car parts stores, or they may let you use their engine code analyzer yourself if you give them a deposit on it. (The two hardest parts are getting down under the steering wheel to plug it in and deciphering the error code.)

What are the optimal shift points for a 2009 Chevy Aveo with a manual transmission?

I uually shift into 2nd at around 10 mph 3rd at 25 4th at 33ish and 5th at 40. I get 30 mpg on a 2006 Aveo which only has a 27 mpg rating for my car. The high way is a totally different story. I dont look for gas mileage for quickness. But If you want the recomened shift points look in your manual. I learned the early shifting tric from my 01 focus. It had a shifting light. I got 33 intown mpg with that one
