Regarding my 1999 chevy cavalier automatic transmission not going into park and reverse, will it cause major damage to the actual transmission if I have to drive for a few days or maybe a couple of weeks before I get the problem fixed? The transmission will go into drive and the car will start right up in neutral and run very well. Maybe I will need to drive the car to work for a few days before I can get a repair. I think what I need is a new linkage cable. Will the park and reverse problem affect the transmission when the car is going down the road?
