Out of the blue my aveo flashes Hold and won't go into fourth. Disconnected the battery to clear the code and it shifts fine until the car goes through a cycle. I'm sure it's a some low qual Korean sensor/solenoid. Overall, this is has been a great econobox reminiscent of my 1989 Honda Civic. I've replaced most of the sensors with NON -Korean replacements and really haven't had many issues. So when I find the offending solenoid/sensor I will post it here.

My car did the same thing, you need to get a linkage for the gears, it only cost like 30 bucks when i took mine into the shop including labor, im not a mechanic and don't have one, so thats what i did, the part is only 12 dollars

SOURCE: chev aveo 2004

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

SOURCE: Re: 2004 Chev Trailblazer won't shift into gear.

is the shifter on the steering column? If it is then turn the steering wheel left or right, it won't turn much but it will free up the shifter.

2004 aveo auto trans. will not shift into 4th gear after an eng. change

Sometime s its kind of hard to tell for sure with and automatic if it has shifted into high gear .You say new engine installed check the linkages and all shift related parts if it shifted before and nothing was changed it should shift now
Also take a look at the interlock switch on the side of the transmission it is derectly linked to to the shift lever on the coloum

My 2007 chev aveo wont start and cant move gear shift

most cars the brake light switch has to work properly for it to come out of gear and start properly. check this switch! Also First check to see if you have brake lights (if not the switch may have failed) secondly when with the ignition key on when you press the brake pedal do you hear a click from the area of the gear shift lever each time you press the brake pedal? If not the control module, wiring or solenoid may have a problem. First check all your fuses! Hope this helps, Good-Day!

My chevrolet aveo won't intermittently move from 2nd to 3rd or 4th gear, and have to reduce speed and move back down to 2nd and try again ....notice it more if trying to move up the gears quickly

This transmission is electronically shifted via solenoids controlled by a computer, so you need to have that tested for fault codes that may be in memory.

The HOLD LIGHT CAME ON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHAT COULD THAT MEAN? It is a 2005 chev. aveo with 28,000 miles

There is a hold button on the shifter or the console. When activated the transmission is locked into the selected gear and the hold light will come on.

An example is putting the transmission in 4th gear, pushing the hold button, and taking off in the snow. Wheel slip would be limited.

You will need the check engine light code read with a scanner and diagnosed.
