98 malibu trans problems i think

when the car is started it makes 2 beeps and then it has to warm up before you can shift it into gear. literally the button on the shifter wont go in so you can shift it until it runs for about 10 minutes and warms up. any infor would be greatly appreciated

Your problem may have to do with the Brake Transaxle Shift Interlock which is designed to keep you from moving the shifter out of park without the brake pedal being depressed.

Do you have trouble when pulling your key out of the ignition?

no sir no problems pulling the key out how would i check the transaxle break interlock

The shift interlock is only supposed to work with the key in the Run or Start position. So you could try turning the key to the ACC position than try to shift out of park. See what that does

will try that in the morn on the way to work if not mistaken wife tried that and said it was hard to do but will check it out and post tommorrow thanks for all the help so far it is greatly greatly appreciated

tried that and it didnt work it just didnt want to go in gear with it not started

Its still possible that the interlock is sticking. I believe the brake switch could have something to do with it also. When you push the brake pedal the interlock is supposed to de-energize. Maybe try checking if your brake lights are working properly

will check it out and see if thats it really appreciate all your help
