My cable broke today. Chevy said I need to replace the cable. I looked at the cable where it connects to the transmission and figured there was a better way. This is exactly what I was thinking! Guess what I am doing tomorrow! Thank you!
Exactly what I had to do too. Except I used a license plate screw mount (believe it or not it works perfect) to insert through mine. Did not have to drill it wider. I would caution when drilling that plastic end. When you drill it wider it makes the end much more thinner and could crack under pressure. Even the end that had to be grind off, simply grind off the piece that sticks out. Then can drill a small hole into it. Then can thread the hole to allow for a small diameter metric screw to go all the way through and thread into the license plate screw mount. Add a locking nut at the end of it.
Remove that plastic cable end and install a heim joint end on the threaded cable end. Remove the stud on the linkage arm and use a shoulder bolt to attach the heim joint end to the linkage arm. Simple, clean, and permanent.
This and the steel cotter pin is the best option I bought the whole cable and replaced it and 8months later same thing happened again so now I'm doing the cotter pin trick but this will do too for sure best pretty much permanent job to slove the problem thanks for the vid lol I used a pair of small vicegrips which works great
The right way is to buy a transmission shift linkage bushing and replace the broken bushing. 10 minutes of work if your slow. Just for your information.
I literally did this, and the damn thing broke off while I was on vacation. Thank GOD I thought to bring my floor jack, tools and a moving blanket. My man here did exactly what I was thinking of doing while I was cussing that cable linkage under my Tahoe in the rain while dressed up...

That’s how it should have been from the manufacturer.

Major improvement, great man! The bushing design does not last 10 years.
THANK YOU very much for posting this, you just saved me a lot of $ and waiting for parts to ship! Did this to my 1995 GMC Sierra.
Thanks for this video great help perfect job man

Hey, i have a 07 dts, with the indicator stuck on park
The shifter works and the car revs. But i cant get it to notice the gear change
Good job
Genios 👌
How much did you charge to do that job? Good job by the way.
good job
Can you show us how to do a Chevy Impala LT. That need this
Good Job, BUT You should use some Locktite though.
Usually its the cable under the rug that is trashed!
👍
What is the size of the punch driver that was used?
A drill bit will work also seen a video of it being done on here also
now the plastic is compromised and alot thinner than OEM. failure imminent.
Oh my gosh you're correct! I'm firing that guy! Thanks for your complaint
What year Acura did you get parts ?
Like a 90s Integra
@@partsshooter thank you
I can't get my lever unbolted. To rusty
Watch the video
This should be a temporary repair since you don't have money but keep in mind that you will repair the all things in s few months or a couple years
This is a permanent repair for a crap design.

I'll be sure to tell the hack job of mechanic to do that next time😎, thanks

What holds the cable to the shift linkage? Zip ties and duct tape
