Kia Optima Not Shifting- Easy Fix- Shifter Replacement- Knob Replacement- Center Console Removal.

[@RK-gy3sd]

I was stuck in the middle of the road when this happened to me. Saved me having to get towed and whatever a mechanic would’ve charged me. You’re the man, thank you

[@swoledier46]

So happy that this helped. It makes me feel good to help my fellow man in any way that I can.

[@Bushheadmonster]

I cant believe I was able to fix my problem after the first video I clicked on, that’s rare! Thank you!

[@levinjackson7428]

This happened to me with 2013 Optima at gas station. Was able to get worn bushing to work well enough to get to Kia dealership. With man hands if you drop the bushing it’s gone. Had to get a 2nd one. This video saved me. THANK YOU!!!

[@moparmike3415]

What is part number for bushing?

[@DiamondDebbie]

OMG this just happened to us on my 2013 Kia Optima EX and I saw your video first and we went down and for now just clicked it back in place because out of town because of Hurricane and didn't even have to remove handle just lifted it up far enough for husband to get to it with screwdriver tip and put back in place and it worked unbelievable seriously this is the most valuable video I've ever needed!!! I too am a KZbin Influencer but we can't thank you enough for this one was going to cost a fortune 275 now just for a diagnosis run and plus would have to have towed etc it saved us at the very least 500 dollars!!! We will order the new bushing when back home tomm but thanks to you we can make it home now and saved us so many hundreds tysvm. You saved us also because we would have been stuck here probably several more days on top of this we live in St. Petersburg and as you know we got hit hard there so evacuated to Jax fla where I'm from and only had the hotel till tomm morning and was leaving for home in morning what a Godsend you have been for us!!! All the way around it took us 30 seconds maybe to completely be able to get home God bless you and yours appreciate it very much XOXO 😘 ❤️ . My channel is Diamond Debbies Gloss N Glow please sub me and I subbed you as well tell your women in your life about my channel please I'm a fan for life 😊

[@Whooachannel]

This is amazing, this is LITERALLY the issue I'm having at this exact moment and didn't know what the part I needed was called and had accidentally bought the wrong one at first. This is so amazing thank you so much for sharing this

[@hassanibrahemshokrof]

Nice work 👏 .. I need to know the exact name of this part you changed , I have the same issue in my kia cerato 2010

[@broncosforlife88]

Yes, i need the part name as well. I have a kia optima 2012

[@LIVEFROMTHEBLOCKTV]

Same

[@bobert5785]

Seems like it is called the "Shift Lever Linkage Bushing" or Shift Linkage Bushing.

[@OscarReyes-ov1qi]

Good video bro

[@CelestialHope111]

🎉🎉🎉🎉Thank you SO MUCH!

[@thegohanmk7411]

Always show them in writing by another reputable shop or a picture/video of the bad part or what is going on with the vehicle, remember you are paying for the knowledge and service that you do not want to or know how to do, how ever easy things like this people can do them selves. It's not rocket science... And it's not that mechanics don't know, it's just that the rather do the diagnostics them selves to have a peace of mind. What if they fix what you said and it dint work? You will end up telling the mechanic it's his fault, and make him do a diagnostic and fix your vehicle properly for a much cheaper price only to keep you, the customer happy.... Either way great video.

[@dallasdoesmusic3406]

Where did you buy the bushing

[@Unknown-gd1iw]

Amazon has it bro. I just ordered mines today. The auto parts store around me didn’t carry them

[@marianamccleary9801]

I can’t find it on Amazon can you please tell me what to type to find this part.

What is the name of the purple piece called

[@swoledier46]

Hi Guys! This item was purchased on Amazon, but can also be purchased here. At times Amazon will carry them. Also, www.bushingfix.com. All the best!

[@broncosforlife88]

Thank you. I looked at the site and i dont see the purple one you got . How do i know the size to get

[@MatthewHKnight]

Eh I know it's been 2 years since this video was uploaded and you been known after the video was uploaded what that black piece is for that comes with that bushing kit thats there driver it's meant to "help" you push the purple bushing into the shifter cable hole. I lost mine some where under the shifter so right now I'm using a thick rubber O ring that hopefully will stay on till I get what I hope is a correct bushing because the one I bought from bushingfix it says it fits my shifter cable but it was loose so I didn't want to take a chance and that thing cost me like $30 off amazon. I gotta have a car for work so I can't afford to be playing around LOL.

[@GabrielValadez-d3f]

Mine came with a small packet of grease. Where was I supposed to use that?

[@stakeHolderMyAss]

I did this fix a few months ago in my sorento 2015, I know the bushing might be the "ideal" but the point is just hold it together, I used a small tie wrap and a touch of plastic soldering (on the ouside of the tie wrap) and it works great
