Tips for fixing a broken shift cable linkage with replacement bushings

[@DJC21wood]

I’m a female and because of your video I did it myself. Thank you❤

[@DormanProducts]

So glad to hear we could help you!

[@p4thoma]

Did you have to remove the cable from the car first?

[@DJC21wood]

@@p4thoma No, I did exactly how he explained it in the video

[@p4thoma]

@@DJC21wood thank you! I was able to do it as well!! Saved me a lot of money 😁

[@TheAlphaBette]

@@DJC21wood I'm working on mine today, thanks! 👩🏻‍🔧

[@ogcreeps]

Thanks for the water trick. I couldn’t have done it otherwise. I ruined the first bushing trying to force it on with a c clamp

[@blueox588]

Worked on my 2013 LTZ Tahoe. It took less than five minuets. I felt a snap when I put it on the cable linkage using the pliers and another snap when it went on the lever by just pushing it on. Also, I did NOT use the hot water technique because of getting two in the package. Good Luck

[@georgeanderson9957]

On my '14 Silverado the part where the bushings go is a lot wider than the one in the vids. Replacrment bushings aren't deep enough to work.

[@jrtaylor2601]

Mine still slips off. Not every time as before but certainly not an acceptable fix. Any further advice?

[@DormanProducts]

Hi JR, is the bushing not staying on the pin of the linkage, or is it coming out of the cable end?

[@jrtaylor2601]

@@DormanProducts it was not staying on the pin. I ended up fashioning a metal clip (with a hole for the pin). So far so good.

[@theoamos4335]

@@jrtaylor2601 can u please tell me what you put to hold it ? My replacement bushing still pops off the pin !

[@Billythekid42069]

@@theoamos4335 probably a small cotter pin

Same here! Keeps coming out from the lever pin. How did you guys worked it out ?

[@dustinpope7996]

I bought this kit and was able to put bushings in the shifter cable end but it keeps popping off of the trans

[@DormanProducts]

Hi Dustin! If it is falling off the pin on the trans, you will want to warranty that bushing.

[@tbirdslot69]

Got part number 14104 for a 2012 yukon xl. Will not stay on the linkage arm pin. Tried both bushing in kit, did the warm water trick. Easily pops back off. Looking at amazon reviews, it really looks like a junk product

[@DormanProducts]

Hello, thank you for bringing this to our attention. I will pass this along to our quality team.

[@jamessouthern5702]

I'm having the same issue, did you find a solution? I'm getting really frustrated now.... Thanks

[@bille5399]

8 months and no response.

[@whitesrepairs1836]

Put a e-clip on it.

[@blueox588]

It worked easily on my 2013 Tahoe. It made a snapping feel when it went into the linkage and I felt another snap when I pushed it on to the linkage leaver.

[@jhanna14]

This what I needed. Thank you

[@alexharmon7325]

2011 silverado with 6 speed trans I used 14104 on the lower cable and it keeps falling off like it's not the right one but it said it fit when I bought it from the autozone I work at

[@DormanProducts]

Hi Alex, if the bushing is snapped in and that is staying but the bushing wont stay on the end of the rod, then you would want to warranty out the bushing.

[@jlem8270]

I have the same problem

[@thebhodges1523]

Same. Bushing is on but keeps coming off the lever over short amount of tjme

[@marc-andrethibodeau]

Same problem here! It keeps coming off the lever! How did you guys worked it out ?

[@brandonlee1835]

Same problem. I don’t think warranty is the answer

[@smartervilleonroute66]

Great tips. Can you put those on the package? I destroyed part 14104 now I’m trying part 14041. I hope the tapered end holds. Not confusing at all.

[@TheAlphaBette]

I've got the 14041 kit, wish me luck!

[@jamessouthern5702]

Other than drilling a hole and using a cotter pin to hold it on, how has everyone else stopped the cable from popping off of the shift linkage? Pics of you got em please...

[@JR-jv4nx]

D is d all this and it still pops off

[@jamessouthern5702]

Gonna try replacing this Auto Trans Shifter Cable Lever - 2001-2013 Chevrolet Tahoe

[@zacharyjarrett43]

Same problem. Piece of junk part. Stupid ass GM could have made the selector arm threaded in order to thread a bolt on and then there wouldn’t be a cheat piece of plastic doomed to failure. But in typical gym fashion they don’t care

[@AMA-Arellano]

My new part pops off too. So annoying. My wife has had to call me 3 times away from work because the new part pops off. The inside of the new pushing should have a bump to clip into place with the transmission shifter

07 Yukon Denali. These are so trash. Not only are they damn near impossible to get the bushing into the flange but the bushing does NOT stay on the pin. It pops off multiple times every single day. Yesterday in the middle of the when while I was backing out of my girl driveway. Booty pipe part

Do yourself a favor take your shift arm off drill out the the shift pin on the shift arm and just bolt it with a lock nut probably have to grind the head of the bolt too. It will last

Please visit your local parts store or online retailer to locate this part. We believe it may be Part # 14104 but they will need to confirm which part number you will need to your exact vehicle before purchasing.
