Sir, thank you from the bottom of my heart. My dad passed away 2 years ago today. I borrowed his truck, and this broke. I got the parts from the zone and went to install them. The white sleeve bushing wouldn't fit. Like not even close. I actually let the truck down and put my things up. Was about to go back to the store, and i decided to youtube this. Seeing you had the video with the same parts as i had gotten i watched it. The win for me was letting us know to grab a 3/8s drill bit to clean out the old bushing! That did it. It just all fit like a glove. With a satisfying click it snapped into place. So from my late father and myself thank you so much for helping me fix the truck for my mother! God bless you sir...

This bushing replacement took you 15 minutes of work!! It took me all of 5 minutes, because you were here on KZbin to help me! Armed with a cordless drill with a 3/8 bit, and a ultra small wire brush , and the repair bushing kit that's available at every auto parts store I called(Dorman part# 14073), I jacked the truck up and climbed under. Drilled out the end of the Bushing to 3/8 like you showed, wire brushed the stud sticking out of the transmission linkage, pushed the bushing through the 3/8 hole, pushed it on the stud until i heard the click, and then pushed the round retainer at the end of the bushing! Great KZbin Video, TWO THUMBS WAY UP! Please pat yourself on the back for helping everyone! Dan

Yup, just saved 83$ and 70$ in labor. I knew replacing the entire cable seemed like "replacing an arm to fix a broken finger" kinda deal. I used some zap straps to hold it in place for a few months but got tired of gettin under the truck to randomly replace them when they broke.

Wow super helpful advice 👍 Mine popped out at Lowes and it wasn't fun. When I was under the truck before, I noticed it looked real loose but decided to leave sleeping dogs lie. Well it popped off and my shift lever became a limp noodle. Luckily I knew what it was and popped it back into place to put the truck in drive and drive home. Then in the driveway trying to shift into park it slipped off again in reverse! Had to turn the truck off in reverse and use the parking brake to stop it from rolling. One more reason you should always have a functioning parking brake... I used the dorman kit you mentioned and it worked great. I did need a 25/64 drill bit tho which can be hard to come by I had to go back to the store for one. 3/8 was not large enough even trying to wallow out the hole extra. Really needed that 25/64 drill bit fwiw I'd make sure you have one before starting. My truck is a 2008 Silverado w/ 5.3 Cheers

I got into my 2003 H2 which is 19 years old. Never had any major issues. I parked it as usual in my driveway. The next day, I stepped on the brake to release the shifter and the shifter slid back and forth like it gear shift cable broke. I took apart the shifter per another KZbin video, which stated the bushing that connects the shifter cable to the gear popped off due to the bushing crumbling of old age. Not the case. I watched your video and crawled under my truck and found the gear shift cable detached from the transmission gear. I tried to reattach it but the bushing was to warn. However, I bought a bushing that closely matched it. I filed it down until I could snap it into the the cable loop. It did snap on but was still lose. However, I was able to get my truck in gear, drive it to my mechanic and save on a towing charge. My mechanic had already ordered an actual H2 gear shifting cable from the dealership I purchased my H2 back in 2003. I thought I blew my transmission. Thank you for this video!!! I was sooo happy to see it was just a popped cable and not the tranny. My H2 is my baby and it’s been with me before during and after my marriage ! 😆

Exact issue happened to me on a 2006 Silverado. Used Zip ties to get truck home. Viewed numerous videos and all channeled down to replacing cable and or range selector lever. None of those mentioned this plastic part which certainly should be replaced if your replacing all else. Found this video and BOOM my problem solved. I appreciate mention of the 3/8" drill as i couldn't even notice remnants of the old piece was still in cable. I do want to mention, apply the parking brake while completing this job. If you move the arm for any reason, the truck will roll as i overlooked.

I had the same problem on 2008 6L, 2500HD Silveraldo. I wrapped the linkage (the wider diamater section up to the smaller tapered part) with aluminum sticky repair tape. I could not find a plastic bushing at any auto store. The tape took the play out of the cable linkage hole and the transmission linkage arm. Then I molded JB weld putty over the linkage arm and let it cure over night. The next day I took pliers and moved the linkage arm through the full range of motion. The putty held next to the cable plastic holder and released on the shaft of the transmission linkage. The shaft has a tapered end then flairs out, that also helps to secure the JB in place. I live out in the middle of no-where. I reconnected the cable halves and 'Back on the Road Again'.

Mine just did this at 210k. I left Walmart got into the truck, it went into reverse but then it felt weird. Put it in park then the lever was free not doing anything. I got mad, like wtf. Then I thought hey might be the cable, damn straight it was off. I was thinking oh no I have to replace the cable. THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING!!!!!

Hey, shout out to you for this video. I ran over some ice in the road, and it knocked the linkage loose from the AT transmission lever. After I got it back home bought the kit and installed it. It took me ten minutes, drilled out the old bushing, attached it and put the C clip on. It seems really secure. Thank you.

dorman 14073 worked great for my 2010 chevy silverado w a 6L80 6 speed. Didn't seem to fit a first but just needed to push harder to seat the bushing. I didn't have a drill at Oreillys so used a utility knife to clean out the old cracked plastic in the cable hole, slipped it on, snapped in the clip and voila, good for another 300,000 miles!

This fixed my 2008 Silverado with a 4L60E 4 speed auto transmission. I tried a bushing kit fix kit and the bushings were too loose in the cable housing to hold on securely. I suspect the plastic wore down over time. With a quick touchup with a 25/64 inch drill bit, this worked fine. I feel much more confident with this repair over the bushing kit repair.

Had to drill out linkage hole with 3/8 inch drill bit. Bushing fit snuggly into hole with some force. Used pliers to snap shift lever ball into bushing. Satisfying pop sound when ball seated into bushing. Was unable to use the bushing retainer. Not enough of it stuck out of the far end of the hole to connect it. But bushing is snuggly seated into hole. If it ever falls out I will use super glue or some other sealant to keep it there. Thanks for the video.

It's amazing how quick, cheap, and easy this is......it could have been cheaper I bought the same parts from a parts store for less than 10$ CAD and no delivery fee or Amazon Prime fee and it could have gone much easier and faster if you's used a wire brush instead of file plus if you had needed to file that grove your clip wouldn't have held so you's have needed to replace that whole part. Also there was no need to waste time drilling anything and in fact you could have accidentally ruined the cable when that bushing (not a grommet) pops right out and lastly that clip isn't meant to be forced over the end so it shouldn't have been put on the bushing then banged n there. In this instance it might be fine but you could have just as easily broke the clip and or bushing so in the future always install the cable with the new bushing onto the pin then using needle nose pliers (if you on't have O ring pliers)slide it into place in the groove.

I tried several kits and bushings. They will not fit into the shift cable hole no matter what I try to do. I tried pliers, wrenches, c clamps, torches, etc. probably time to send it to a shop and get it done right and quick. maybe if you get the right kit and bushing it is easy but not mine. all the videos on this subject show different bushing designs. fuck american cars, i'll buy foreign from no on. they are built better.
