Anti-freeze inside cylinder?

Question:
I think it means I have a blown head gasket but I'm hoping its something easier and less expensive to fix.

Answers:

I have a 98 Chevy Malibu that is VERY difficult to shift out of park. Shifts fine once it's out of park.?

If you have antifreeze inside your combustion chamber, you most definitely have a blown head gasket or a cracked head/block. An easy follow up test is to run the car with the radiator cap off, once the car heats up enough to open the thermostat coolant will either bubble up like champagne, or blow out of the radiator depending on how bad it is. If there's enough coolant in the cylinder for you to notice it I'd imagine your problem is in the "coolant blowing out the radiator" league.

Year,make and engine would help. If it is a GM 3.8L it is most likely the upper intake plenum leaking.
Coolant in the cylinder does not always mean head gasket.
