Outstanding detailed step by step vehicle maintenance. My 07 Chevy Tahoe shift cable bushing dry rotted now issue of not shifting into park.
Awesome. Thank ypu for watching. Please subscribe.
You just save my live
Couldn’t figure out that main coupling clip to save my life Lol, “pull it back” duh. Thanks man 🤙🏼
Thank you for this! I accomplished this tonight!!
Haha. That Tahoe looks familiar 🤣
Blue Line Garage does it again💯👍🏻
On the money as always🤑
Thank you for a nice detailed video showing it as it is without any polish
If you lose or break the clip go buy the bushings for the cables that can take a replacement . It comes with 2 bushings and a clip. Dorman 14104
Hey boss how did you get that small copper c clip? I’m having a hard time placing it back in that little groove
@KS-133 with needle nose pliers and some luck, but that's how I did it.
Dang only real question is how many inches long is the actual cable. Apparently 2 kinds of lengths for the same type and year of truck. Love the video and so much help
30 something inches.
wow great job thanks
Man Thank You So Dope !!!’
Has this video helped?
why exactly was it you had to replace the whole wire?? this happened to my moms tahoe just today and when i pop the cable back on it will shift. tow guy said to just buy a new bushing to hold it on like the factory bushing it came with and it will be perfectly fine. Just curious as to how i would know if the whole thing needs to be changed?
Cable is very cheap & the aftermarket bushing clip never stays on
So true the replacement bushing popped off three times today so I guess we have to do the cable
@@relaxedyou4059 that’s weird i bought an aftermarket bushing once when i left that comment, popped it on and haven’t had a single problem with it since that day tbhh 🤷♂️
If you do replace your cables, be sure to replace both sections of the cable. There is a metal connection point between the upper and lower cables that when removed will then be compromised and is not recommended to be reused. Per ASE procedures. 🤙🏻
I’ve replaced with aftermarket bushing twice and neither one lasted more than a few months so I hope replacing the whole unit is worth it.
dealer and rock auto are saying you need to replace the upper cable at the same time.
I'm hoping with this video I can just do the lower cable. I tried the aftermarket bushing 14104 and it's useless and doesn't hold onto the nipple from the shift lever.
Would this keep from going into forward gears but it will go into reverse
Thanks
I installed just the new bushing but it keeps coming off the transmission shift arm nipple.
Anytime. Just don't forget to subscribe!
@@YoungGearHeads did you change the whole cable or bushing? The bushings never stay on but you also need to make sure you push it hard enough on that nipple on the gear shift tab. Your better off getting a new cable for around $20 bucks and then it clips on properly
@@BlueLineGarage just the bushing
Any advice on how to get the tiny brass clip in?
Takes time but nice and slow with a needle nose pliers.
Hey thank you for the video, i had a question i tried replacing mine but now the shift part won't reach the transmission shifter and i tried putting the original one back on but it won't reach either.
Make sure it's in park. When you move the shifter it changes the length
The cable is adjustable for this exact reason. You'll have to push in the new cable housing further after you have the transmission gear selector end on. Once you do that then install that large clip. You may need to push the adjust end in a little bit more when putting the clip in place to ensure you get Full range of motion.
That tiny clip you pushed out to separate the 2 cables , can that pop all the way out, or does it stop a certain point? I just didn't want to push on that tiny retaining clip & it pop all the way out & be screwed & not be able to get to back in.
It comes all the way out, but it's super fragile. Once removed, it tends to stay bent open a bit, and if force is closed to it original size, it sometimes breaks off. So be delicate when removing it and placing it back on. If breaks, then I would order the other cable that has it. Swap parts for that small little clip and then return it back to the store saying you ended up not using it, and thats how u get a replacement clip since they don't sell it separately.
@@BlueLineGarage genius lol
I lost the Clip do you know where I can get one? Please also thanks for the video!
Go to auto store and buy a new kit and carefully remove the pin amd package it back up and return it saying you decided not to use it. You get ur money back and a clip for free. That's what I had to do on two separate vehicles. Good luck and make sire you subscribe.
@@BlueLineGarage thanks for this video we saved money on a trip to the repair shop, I went to the junk yard in search for that c Clip and got it done today, again we appreciate you 👍🏼
Is it the lower or upper shift cable?
I just paid around 123 dollar for this in Dubai
123? Is it a good thing or bad?
2009 Tahoe just failed two weeks ago. Guess it’s about that time.
Nice!
@@BlueLineGarage I can’t get the first part out. Is it normally difficult to get the cable out?
@@EF_DadLeftMe which part? The section the two cables connect to each other or to the transmission lever? From the lever it pops off with some force. To separate the two cables there is a white tab that needs to be pulled away but also a copper looking "U" clip that needs to be removed but be careful, it breaks easily. Once that clip is removed u can remove the cable.
@@BlueLineGarage so new problem the bushing is still on the cable and it keeps popping back off when I drive down the road?!!
@@EF_DadLeftMe the u clip is not engaged or missing. It's copper looking that snaps in the groove below the point of the cable.
