Transmission will not shift out of 1st gear.

When you drive the 1994 saturn sl1 automatic down the road it will not usually shif out of 1st gear if you take it up to lets say 4000 rpms then let off, rpms drop, then you have to take them back up to atleast 4000 rpms to get it to start moving again. same goes for when it finally does shift to 2nd.

    Before condemning any transmission I recommend buying a $15.00 can of sea foam transmission tune-up and a filter and fluid for your vehicle. My dodge caravan was squealing and wouldn't budge in any gear until i changed the filter put in new fluid and the sea foam transmission tune-up and 100,000 miles later is still running like new.

Check your transmission fluid level. If the filter has never been changed, now is a good time to replace the fluid and filter.

I have a 96 sl1. I only have 1st,3rd and 5th gear. If I try 2nd 4th and Reverse, it's like they aren't even there. Is it my linkage cable? And should I get a new transmission?

This does sound more like a bad cable. You'll need to find the shift tower on the transmission and have someone move the shift so you can see if it moves when trying to put it in the bottom gears.

Transmission shifting very hard

Unfortunatly my transmission does the same thing. I had it repaired for about $800 only to have the same thinig happen again about 4 months down the road. It seems that there are alot of horror stories about these saturn transmissions. My trans has been slamming for about 3 years now and it still works...per say. Id say either replace it or just drive it until it breaks.

1998 Dodge Grand Caravan will not shif into 2nd

Most likely the second gear section of the transmission has gone bad. There are 3 or 4 different gear sections or assemblies in an automatic transmission, when they go bad, they go bad.
