The 2005 Chevy Malibu shift solenoid is located inside the transmission oil pan and will be connected to the valve body. This is a pretty difficult job and should only be done by an experienced mechanic or with proper instructions. Some of the symptoms that You may notice if You have a bad shift solenoid are delayed gear shifting, stuck in neutral, and rough or harsh shifting into gear when cold. The cost for the solenoid will vary from $13 - $25 depending on if its an aftermarket or OEM product. The best way to find out if You have any problems with the shift solenoid is getting an OBD diagnostic tool to scan the vehicle and find error codes related to the part.
