i have a 2005 sunfire GT it will not shift into first what could it be????

I'm going to suggest that a transmission mount or torque arm is not allowing the linkage to put the transmission into the detent~

you know dandy, they are going to remove your avatar because there has to be a person under that logo...at least they unapologetically deleted mine...check back tomorrow...it will be gone~

put a floorjack under the oil pan (with a piece of wood in between)...take 'er up 3/4 of an inch and you'll see the splitting engine mount and transmission mounts a wonky~
