Silverado Sierra Transmission Cable Adjusment- Won't Go Into Park Fix

[@Josh0fAlllTrades]

After replacing transmission cable and shift interlock solenoid, this video just saved me from a rampage thank you good sir!

[@JPWilson-mo5kj]

Your welcome. Gald I could help!

[@robertmorandi3947]

Your the only guy that explains it it won't go into PARK, which means the truck will not START you push the adjuster in,not out, to tighten it. And the trick of putting lever in P and turning key on to acc., Is a good Indian trick!!!!!!!

[@gordbrown410]

I changed the shift cable on my 95 Sierra last night. All gears work but wont go back in park! The cable is a bit different on the 95 but there is a clip and what appears to be an adjuster. Back under there tonight to try this! Thanks so much for this informative video!!

[@johnmillett1160]

Man i did this to my 2009 silverado and it worked like a charm.Best help video i have ever watched period.

[@jg6118]

thank you JP, worked great! one tip, safety glasses, lots of dirt and gunk waiting years for your eyes.

[@JPWilson-mo5kj]

Yes that is a great tip! I recall being covered in road sand when pulling the connector apart.

[@johnmillett1160]

Yeah i found that as well i made the mistake of spraying rust check loosener on it the week before to loosen any part they may have become seized.But in the process of looking for my safety glasses i found a second pair.

[@starrwars2655]

I am a girl. I've replaced upper and lower cable 2013 Chevy hd 2500. I had this same problem and have been searching for a fix. I think you have solved my problem. Thanks for this video!

[@JPWilson-mo5kj]

@starrwars2655 glad I could help!

[@Cat_eye03]

Thanks! I been looking for a solution and I couldn’t find anything on KZbin. I’ll give it a try

[@daringendrek6074]

Great explanation. Easy to follow easy to understand thank you much.

[@looseparashoot]

Nice S2K! Your that dude forreal! 👍🏾

@@looseparashoot thanks! Love the S2ks!

[@MattParkman-z3k]

Great job on the video, thanks! Informative. I'll try it asap.

[@RobertL.BixlerJr]

😅 answer just what I needed thanks

[@mikedelgiudice8626]

Exelent video. Just did mine. It was explained perfectly

[@TheoneandonlyJobis]

Thank you. No chance of my 04 clip surviving though lol. Guess I'll buy the whole thing

[@JPWilson-mo5kj]

@TheoneandonlyJobis that sucks. Its a risk pulling those old plastic clips:/

[@awakengrace5926]

Thankyou for sharing.

[@automotiveaddiction428]

I'm having this problem now with my 02

[@kylethrower6232]

Same here

[@sebastaingaming3088]

I’ve done this and my truck still rolls as if it’s not parked and shows it’s in reverse but the handle is up into the park position

[@PIMPST]

Mine 2 did u fix it?

[@quanep]

Where is the TCM on a 09 GMC YUKON SLT 5.3?

[@billelias9259]

My truck go into park and all gears but can't shift into manual mode so I'm guessing it's gonna be this aswell

[@fernandoreyes1340]

Same here! did it fix it?

[@amandakinsey3069]

My 07 truck is stuck in park. Before this happened it was sometimes hard to put in park. I'm going to try this hope this is my problem

[@jadenmehle2680]

Did this ever work for you? At first I had to run through gears a couple times to get it into park and now it just won’t.

[@ismaelcarrillo3956]

99-06 is considered the New Body Style

[@markfoster1543]

07 can be new body style or classic

[@jeremylay1694]

Correct. The OBS or 98 and older have a different shift linkage adjustment and it's much simpler.

[@JPWilson-mo5kj]

@@ismaelcarrillo3956 thanks for that clarification. See 07+ body style being adjusted in the vid.

[@Vidman1981]

I need a video like this on my 2012 Chevy Sonic.

[@MarkTankersley-b1r]

Thank you!

[@kennymcquinkiss8292]

No sound?

[@madelineholmes8256]

Man, thank you

[@wesleyforehand2185]

Im having trouble with this on my 01 silverado ive change neutral safety switch and adjusted my shift cable and im still having alot of slop in my shifter and it starts in reverse and i can only drive 55 mph and its like its stuck in third gear idk im lost here

[@jeremylay1694]

This only applies to 99 and newer for those who are curious

[@kadisonrussell2773]

Mine doesnt have that clip

[@laurenwarburton1626]

engaging the e brake would be a hot tip to add to this before crawling under a vehicle that wont go into park... just using my lady brain lol

[@K11NGOFTHESW11NG]

Interesting. Because as men we ALL know to engage the ebrake before doing any work under the truck. Also chock the wheels.

[@JPWilson-mo5kj]

Good tip lady brain. I've got a feeling you have never tried to push a silverado in neutral on flat ground. Anyhow keep lady braining..

[@insanemarijane7925]

My Suburban won't go into park half the time but it's because the retainer clip came out of the shifter cable

[@Josia-y3h]

This did not help me, regardless of how I adjust the cable I cannot go into park. I replaced shift interlock solenoid and I still have no luck. Any ideas? Problem started after briefly manual shifting into 3rd to slow down a hill. Shortly after when I tried to put in park, just feels limp like it ain't locking in

[@brandonwalker7311]

My truck just did the same thing. What did you do

[@kylethrower6232]

Replaced mine in 02 gmc 5.3.. only goes up to Reverse, not into park, have to put in neutral to crank. Then back up for reverse, works down through all other, just won't back to park

[@Joel-rd5rq]

Did you fix the issue, having the same issue.

[@j.v.1166]

Did you check the shifter lever mechanism? If you pull back the rubber boot on lever you can see that it has a spring..if that spring is not straight and or is broken or twisted, it might be the mechanishm.theyre not expensive on amazon.i have a 99 and the other day i was on a hill so when i went to take it out of park I noticed the lever moving but since i didnt put the handbrake i forced it into gear..bad idea. Wouldn't go into park anymore..im going to tackle this issue this week.best of luck.

[@insanemarijane7925]

The plastic pieces that keep the retainer clip on my Chevy Suburban and keep the retainer clip in place broke So sometimes I have to climb underneath it and physically shove it into park or it won't start I have everything I need to replace the entire shifter cable I just don't have a place to do it

[@hbkboogs1365]

My truck won’t start now

[@addicted2jdm]

Nice s2000😁 I have one👌

[@JPWilson-mo5kj]

Nice 👍

[@motorcitywestauto4674]

Would really make a lot more sense to actually see the adjustment done instead of move this, push that....

[@JPWilson-mo5kj]

@@motorcitywestauto4674 I am not a professional youtuber I don't get paid for this I'm trying to help others out for free. There's no way to do the adjustment and hold the phone camera at the same time but many others on here said how much it helped them and understood it.

[@MarkVillanueva-e1k]

Do you just pull em in together by hand to where it needs to be or is there a tool that needs to be used

[@motorcitywestauto4674]

@@MarkVillanueva-e1k I figured it out, no tool needed. But if you're in a hot area (I'm in Phoenix) be careful. The plastic gets brittle. But you use your fingers. You can help it along with a screwdriver but again, be careful. It makes a lot of sense once you have it apart.
