Thanks for the video I only got the back half of the cable but after watching this I think I’ll be able to make it work. Now I know the connection is on the outside.
Thank you very much for the video I am going to only replace the lower which was the exact same problem. I had it just happened an hour away from home and I was able to get it back on long enough to shift the vehicle and get us home. Thank you
I wish you would show the copper clip that actually connects the cable inside the cable connections on the lower side. My new cable didn't come with one, So I had to steal it out of my old cable. could save some people alot of guess work and time.
Thanks for making the video i don’t know how you do it tight spaces! Well thanks to you I was able to fix my cable I just needed a bushing but the price of the 1/2 section was not bad but…end up buying the whole thing )$120)because as I was removing separating halfway I broke the little clip (on the other section) that holds the cables together and worst dealer part did not match!! …my fault ! made the mistake of not comparing side by side!!!! the cable was short it only gave me 123DN. no R no P so i had to remove everything and of course dealer did not take the part. so i remove the bushing out of it and placed on the old cable and reinstall faster and easy ….not really it works thanks Learn from my mistakes !!
FYI TO EVERYONE: You may only need to replace the shift linkage bushing (little white plastic piece seen in thumbnail) cost me $10 and I crawled under my van and replaced it in 2min with my fingers and some needle nose pliers.
I don't like ripping customers off..I'm an honest technician.i recommended the plastic bushing but the customer wanted to replace the whole cable ..so he didn't have to deal with it later...
@angels-wk1dn I don't like ripping customers off boss..I treat every customers car like if it was my own..I'm an honest technician.i recommended the plastic bushing, but the customer wanted to replace the whole cable ..so he didn't have to deal with it later...😁
Dude thank you for this video. It’s helpful as fooock. Exact issue. Exact fix. Life saver !!! For me I couldn’t get just the bushing and the cable was old anyways. Feels better doing a proper fix for a van that I love. Thanks again.
Could you just purchases the lower, disconnect the transmission side and connect to new end without pulling the end of the column shifter? The would elevate having to pull it though the floor board.
Can you please give me a suggestion for my transmission, my 2000 Chevy van, while I was driving doing about 60 mph and my transmission went out, as I gave the motor gas ,my engine was just revving, as I came to a stop , I put it in park and began shifting through the gears, no response from any gear I tried, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Thanks for the video, but there were no need to replace the upper cable- it comes on 2 parts, you should just replace the transmission cable section- on minute 4 to 4:09 there is the section where it separates- but I guess the customer asked for all the shifting cable replace- not a quick fix- Just saying- 😂
Thank you!!!..Yes sir all it basically needed was the transmission side cable.. but if we're talking about a quick fix then I would have just replaced the plastic bushing on the end of the transmission side cable.. but the customer wanted to replace the whole shift cable!!....🙂😂
I could have....but it wasn't up to me brother🙂 i recommended replacing just the bushing to save money but the customer just wanted to replace the whole cable to not deal with it down the road..
@@luckysdiygarage i replaced the bushing on my 09 tahoe..it came off a cpl days later..im jus gonna get another shift lever and drill out the male part and put it back on.the run a screw and bolt thru the bushing so i dont have to deal with it anymore..
Nice bro! Do you have the part #? My Savana has the same problem, bought the cable but my mechanic said it wasn’t ent the same. Thanks in advance and great vid
Hi Miguel sorry I don't have the part number I threw the boxes away 😊 if you can't find the cable and the only part that broke is the little bushing you can go to the help section at O'Reilly's or AutoZone and they sell just a little plastic bushings and you can just slap that right on instead of replacing the whole cable
Customer wanted to replace both .. and if it was up to me I would have just replaced the plastic bushings in the lower half of the line that's all you really need to fix the cable.. unless the cable was broken
Thank you for the video! I'm currently replacing the lower shift cable in my stepdad's van and it's helped a lot!
Thanks for the video I only got the back half of the cable but after watching this I think I’ll be able to make it work. Now I know the connection is on the outside.
Thanks for the detail. This video helped a lot. Got my cables, $140!from Chevy
Thank you very much for the video I am going to only replace the lower which was the exact same problem. I had it just happened an hour away from home and I was able to get it back on long enough to shift the vehicle and get us home. Thank you
Glad it helped 🙂
@@luckysdiygarage Right now i'm having trouble getting adjusted to the right length.
@cellgame100 hey what's up boss did you get it to length yet
@@cellgame100 did you measure the new one to the old one boss
Wow i wish all repairs and videos were this simple and thoroughly covered
This video just saved my ass. Thank you

Thanks for the tip boss 👍
No BS! Perfect . Thanks and cheers!

Is necessary replacing entire cable opposed to just reattaching dislodged end at under carriage using something adequate
If it's just a bushing that broke they sell the bushing itself if your cable is not broken
But you don't Have to replace the cable if the bushing is broken
I love this kind of videos , nothing bla..bla..bla......
Only needed the plastic bushing replaced at the cable end. Keep ripping them off bro! 😂
I don't like ripping customers off..I'm an honest technician.i recommended the plastic bushing but the customer wanted to replace the whole cable ..so he didn't have to deal with it later...
After market bushings fall out too easy he did right by replacing the whole cable
Dude he just burned your ass NOW YOU LOOK STUPID
Funny@@luckysdiygarage
It's a good video and I appreciate that. Thank you sir!
Ripping people off that's sad is just a very small part to replace 😢

@@luckysdiygarageyou could have mentioned that so the rest of us could have just went and bought the bushing.
if this doesn’t work what should i do?
I re engineered the shifter it is now 1975 shifter on a 2000 chev
Nice job
I see it's a cleaning service van. Lol
Excellent video. I do the same things you do with the boxes and clicking the tools together. Lmao.
Dude thank you for this video. It’s helpful as fooock. Exact issue. Exact fix. Life saver !!! For me I couldn’t get just the bushing and the cable was old anyways. Feels better doing a proper fix for a van that I love. Thanks again.
Thank you so much..🙏.I'm glad this video was helpful
awesome video well done loved it but I will just take my van to one of you guys a mechanic lol
Could you just purchases the lower, disconnect the transmission side and connect to new end without pulling the end of the column shifter? The would elevate having to pull it though the floor board.
Yes sir you can purchase the lower end separately..
All that was missing was a bushing… why replace the entire cable?
I recommended replacing the bushing but the customer wanted to replace the entire cable...
wonderful change, but i do not understand why you did not just put in a new bushing the kits are only 29 dollars. was there a reason?
I agree do you have a link to the bushings on Amazon?

This broke when I was up a hill and had to hold my foot on the break till someone came to help
Dam sorry about that...hope everything was good at the end tho..
I'm guessing your patking brake cable was also broken.
@@TheCharleseye yeah it doesn't work at all
You just saved my vacation!😅

Nice video
Good work. Thanks

@@IGStrangDaKang haha that's one way of doing it .🤙
@@IGStrangDaKang and another way of doing it you can install an aluminum bushing and drill a hole on the tip of male part and install a safety clip..
Nice bro!
Do you have the part #?
My Savana has the same problem, bought the cable but my mechanic said it wasn’t ent the same.

That's what I was wondering. I just need the plastic bushing.
Thanks
Excelente video 👌👌
Except in my case the cable was replaced and still happening.
What did it end up being

Why not just replace the lower half of the cable. Upper was fine
I’m thinking same
Customer wanted to replace both .. and if it was up to me I would have just replaced the plastic bushings in the lower half of the line that's all you really need to fix the cable.. unless the cable was broken
