Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Venture owners report experiencing shifter indicator malfunctions that result in the transmission being stuck in drive. Common issues contributing to this problem include low transmission fluid levels, which can hinder proper gear shifting. Additionally, misaligned throttle position sensors and malfunctioning shift solenoids may also disrupt the flow of transmission fluid, further complicating shifting. Owners have noted that contamination or other problems with transmission fluid can exacerbate these difficulties, while failures in the shift linkage can prevent the vehicle from shifting out of drive altogether. Furthermore, issues with the torque converter have been reported as contributing factors. Many owners also observe that a malfunctioning gear shift indicator light, such as continuous blinking or flickering, can provide clues to the underlying issues. Addressing these potential causes promptly is crucial for resolving the shifter indicator malfunction effectively.
