_______________________________________
It is common for the Tow Haul button to stop working on the shifter lever in these trucks. Eric shows us how to diagnose the problem and how to replace the lever.

Clear, easy to follow directions. They don't assume you know as much as they do and they gear it down to your level of expertise. 👌

Thanks for the great review!

I just fixed my wires. Wasnt hard. Wires are small and a lil aggravating. Best advice is wiring 2whites 2 blacks. on the lbz 6spd with the manual shifting. the 2 whites are tow mode button and dont matter just hook those back together either way and the 2 blacks are shifting I got mine right but if u dont just switch them.

I looked at 2 lb7’s (FL and in PA) that had this wire broken and some dingaling took the broken wires and put them to a switch drilled into the dash. Ugh. Thanks for showing me how to fix this properly!

Glad you found the information helpful!

Thank you! Replaced mine 2day. My wires were broke under one of the plastic black hold down clips. Thanks again for your help.

My gear shifter spring broke so it doesn’t go fully into park without pushing it

[@steviemack68]

Do you have a video for just replacing the broken spring that the shift lever depresses?

[@merchantautomotive]

Not yet.

Does the tilt lever just pull out so you can remove the lower half of the column cover?

[@wyattoneable]

Great tutorial, thanks.

[@merchantautomotive]

Thank You!

[@240zzm]

wow, my LBZ has this problem. This is an excellent video!

[@johnh4863]

I repaired the wire, it works fine. The only issue is this wire was hard to work with. Probably easier to replace though if you are not a patient person.

[@robertfredzess9941]

Great video. Thanks

[@merchantautomotive]

[@white24valve]

Thanks for the video Eric! Been a customer a customer for years.Here recently on my 02 when i start the truck and put it down into gear the doors are not locking,but down on the floor board /fire,wall I hear a maybe like some clicking,does the gear selector arm need replaced to fix this issue?

[@merchantautomotive]

Would hate to guess, but could be NSBU switch related

[@michaelbowman3521]

Have a problem took out my transmission my 97 Chevy Silverado to put a bracket between engine and bell housing I fix that now I put it all back together and I get nothing my engine will start but no drive or anyting check the transmission fluid that's all good looking for suggestions

[@michaelbowman3521]

Hook it up to a cold machine and all it is is a 9141 transmission gear shifting sent sealant annoyed there's no other

[@merchantautomotive]

Hard to say but the fluid level is good, make sure the linkage is hooked up and adjusted correctly. Also, if 4x4, be sure the transfer case is not in Neutral
