You will need to take it to a transmission shop.

Sounds like your shift cable has gotten out of sync, If this is the case, you take the shify cable loose from the link on transmission, then shift link to park position , then adjust cable to line up to the link and rehook. I don't know exactly how your set up looks but the procedure is the same on most cars.

Check Your Clutch Fluid It Just Like Checking Your Brake Fluid In The Engine Compartment. If Its Low You May Have Got Air In The Line Which Will Cause The Clutch To Feel Empty. Make Sure Its Full Then Get In And Push It 3 times and hold then get out and check it again seeing if its emptied the reservoir. Keep Adding until the clutch feels good again. make sure that after doing so there isn't any dripping off the bottom of the car which would indicate the line need to be repaired.

Next If The doesn't do it with the car off push the clutch very slowly and listen for any kind of suction sound near your feet. sometimes it leaks around the pedal. If you dont have any fluid on the floor board then all should be well.

Then fallow the line all the way to the transmission looking for fluid.
It is pretty easy to find as it doesn't dry.

Most vehicles use dot 3 brake fluid but your vehicle may differ check your clutch reservoir cap for specifications on fluid.
if it does take brake fluid do not spill it on your paint as it will take it down to the bare metal in no time.

I hope this helpful and look forward to hearing your results if you need more help.

Sincerely,
Michael Scott

It's usually in the engine compartment in the underhood fuseblock.

Diagrams for shift cables on a 2004 pontiac sunfire

I do not have one to look at, but I would recommend this video search from Google:

The first 2 or 3 YouTube hits look promising.

I have a 2004 Pontiac Sunfire. I can shift into all gears fine but when I shift into 5th gear it sorta grinds. In shifts into reverse fine its just the 5th gear. I don't whats wrong, or how to fix it....

About all you can do at this point is change the oil in the gear box and have your shift linkage checked and adjusted. The grind is internal, and the transmission will need to be removed to be repaired. Most likely it's worn synchronizers.

I have a 1997 Pontiac Sunfire that has problems shifting into gear. (manual trany). Have to force into 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th and especially in reverse. Will grind going into reverse. Have to turn off...

Sounds like the clutch is going out. I would check the operation of the clutch slave cylinder. Also check the clutch master cylinder fluid level.

My 1999 Pontiac Sunfire GT 2.4L Automatic Gear Selector is broken

you car likely thinks its stuck in reverse, which it may be... even if you can roll it. you'll need to find a way to either get it into park or neutral, normally this can be done by the actual linkages under the shift console or from underneath the car.

My 2005 Pontiac Sunfire intermittantly grinds when shifting into first gear. This has been happening ever since I took the car in for its 60,000 mile tune-up early this year. I replaced my clutch three...

I believe the problem is the first gear synchronizer. They are what allows the gears to mesh together without grinding. As they wear, they are less able to mesh the gears together without grinding. The first gear gets used the most, so that one usually wears first. Each gear has them, so as time goes on, the others will wear. To replace the synchronizer/s, involves diaasembling the transmission. I would have the transaxle fluid level checked, maybe as simple as that. But usually it's the prior.

That would be your transmission. The only way to fix it is to have it rebuilt or buy new, both are around the same price sometimes. Sorry to hear your troubles.

2002 Sunfire No Reverse

the reverse is the first thing to go out in your transmition. Check trani fluid while car is hot and idling in park on level surface if needed add trani fluid. If problem persists sometimes replacing the transmision screen may enable the reverse usually and new trani is needed.
