Check your owners manual for the correct shift pastern...It is a natural H pattern, with 5th gear upper right...reverse should be all the way to the right and lower right to engage...the knob does not always indicate the correct pattern...may have been changed...also be sure it is a 5 speed...most of these Cavaliers were 4 speeds...with reverse being upper right instead of 5th gear upper right...confirm in your owners manual if possible...will show illustration...Hope this helps.
you should be getting a humming noise while driving check your cv joint bearing by turning your steering to left or right while driving if there bad you will hear a clicking noise
Sounds like one of the levers inside the transmission is either broken or otherwise disengaged. Remove the shifter to see if you can see any obvious reason.
If it shifts from 1st to 3rd gear also, then you need to have it rebuilt. I lost reverse and 2nd gear in mine and I had it rebuilt. Works great now and for the low price of only $1600,,,LOL
let it warm up for 10 minutes before you put it into drive if it goes rite in then you need to change the transmition filter in it i had 2 chevys do that it will go rite int reverse gear but wont go into drive rite away after the engine runs for a while it shuld go into drive
