Tranny Problem

Backed my little puddle jumper out of the parking place and tried to go into first, the stick just flops around and it's stuck in reverse. clutch disengages.

Ooops! Man that sounds bad. It could be the Clutch Plate, or a Warped pressure plate or flywheel, There is no way around it, you are going to need to open that tranny and see, or take it to a specialist.

Aren't you talking about the shifter cable coming loose off the tower inside the car? Search Google ... there may be a cheap fix... using a wiper washer from an auto parts store...

wiper washer?

Thanks this makes more sense thatn the clutch, I'll get on it this week

More reading before you decide...over and out:http://www.saturnfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=92301&highlight=cable+washer

I didn't really get time to get a good look at things but I did notice that one of the cables were off the shifter but the connector still looked intact. also there were two plugs near a box (computer)? but no way to connect them. it was getting dark and cold so Ill have to wait for a warmer day to investigate.

any ideas?

Your problem is the shift cable off.. Those connectors are likely ones for your car if an automatic transmission were installed when built.

got a chance to get a good look today after work and found that a black nylon clip or something fell apart that holds the shifter ball in the cable hole (sorry that's the best I can do for a description) does anybody know what the heck I'm trying to describe is called? and if so, please tell me the correct name so I won't look as foolish at the parts store/dealer as I do here.
