This is an easy one, if you haven't ever gotten an answer. The shift cable linkage is held in place and tight by a metal clip - one cable for 1-3-5 and 1 cable for 2-4-R. When the clip gets rusted it eventually snaps and that cable is no longer held tightly in place so when you try to shift into the corresponding gears, the linkage isn't actually moving the gear selector. I found 2 super easily in a junkyard and that worked fine. I also was able to locate a brand new OEM part which cost less than $5. The repair takes all of 3 minutes, 5 if you have difficulty maneuvering to the cable linkage. You'll be looking directly in front of the driver in the engine bay, and down maybe a foot.

I have a Saturn 1992 SL Sedan with 164,000 miles. I am having a major problem with the car cutting off while I am driving at a fairly constant speed or when I am idling at a stop light. The engine will shut off, along with the power steering and all other electronics. This happens when at a stop light only after I press on the gas to accelerate from a dead stop, but I am able to put the car in neutral and start the car again (sometimes it takes a while to restart). We tried getting the electronic control module repaired, but this did not fix the problem. We checked the oil and it appears to be of the correct viscosity for the engine. We are at our ends as to what needs to be done to fix this dire problem. Thank you for your time! 8 Answers
