- Silverado-Sierra ,Automatic Transmission Shifter Cable Replace. If you are having issues shifting in or out of park or L ,your shifter cable may be getting bad.On Silverado-Sierra trucks the automatic shifter cable comes up through the floor and is under the carpet on the drivers side.Because the drivers feet is always on the cable they seem to go bad a lot on Silverado-Sierra trucks. Tried to instal a aftermarket ,Automatic Shifter Cable on this Silverado-Sierra truck but could not get the truck to shift in to low gear. I needed to have this Silverado-Sierra going again so I used the bottom half of the original shift cable. The hardest part is getting the shifter cable through the wire retainer ,that is over the steering column near the firewall. It is not to bad of a job to do but just make sure to remember how the shifter cable is routed before removing the old one. I will use only AC Delco Automatic Shifter Cables for Silverado-Sierra trucks from now on.

I did my Dad's 2002 GMC 1500 yesterday and it wouldn't have gone nearly as well if it weren't for the video's I watched here on TH-cam. Thank you wtbm123 for posting this awesome video.
I just went ahead and replaced the whole thing, shifts like new now. thank you
Great video. You explained this very well. I just wish I could have seen this video before the shifter broke from the column.

Best damn how to vid i have ever watched. right to the point, and talks about all the little details
Thanks for the video man. You gave me the ability to fix what the mechanic messed up lol. First time in 17 yrs I paid someone to work on my car. Last time as well. Diy
Glad I could help
You are a very good teacher. Great job. Thank you.
This is literally the best video out there for the shift cable replacement for the Silverado.the newer videos leave so much critical information out
Thank you
Great instructional video - had the same issue at the same spot in my 99 Silverado. Fishing that cable through that bracket behind the driveshaft was one pain in the ass!
Matt Kreider Thank you for watching and commenting
Thank you!! My truck did this an hour ago and I was feeling complete dread. It broke off but I tied it on til I can get the part from oriellys. You saved me. I was stranded man.
Glad it helped
WOW!!! How AWESOME!!! I just had an issue with my 2000 Chevy Silv. 1500 not wanting to go into park, or past Neutral!!! My Shifter was loose so I fixed that problem. Put it all back together & still no Park or past Neutral!!! Then I followed the Shift Cable & under the floor grommet. ( Not far from yours!!! ) So I came inside to look up on You Tube To see if I could do this job too... Your video ( & comments) Helped me to see where/how everything gets disconnected, reconnected & Adjusted!!! Thank you!!!

Very good. I used it on my 2005 Silverado. Make sure you carefully review the cable routing before you remove the old cable (I did not and had to watch again)
Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video. It was very helpful to me.
Elliot Carver Thank you for watching and commenting
i had the same problem. thanks for the great video!! very helpful man!
Great Video. I liked how you explained and videoed the routing of the cable. Thank you
Thanks for watching and commenting
Good job Terry
Excellent how to. I had to replace the cable on my s10 and the process was very similar
Thank you for watching and commenting
Thank you so much I woke up this morning to go to work just to find out I can't shift my pos, found that my shifting cable came off from the transmission. For now I just got zip ties until I can properly fix it
Glad the zip ties worked till you can replace the cable.
Thank you, your video helped me to fix my Dad's truck
Thank you for watching
99 Chevy Silverado. shifter cable operates with much resistance. Wondered if lubrication would solve the problem. Will inspect now that this video helped me locate everything.
Awesome video!! Highly recommend using AC Delco replacement. If so be sure to hold both cables together while mating until spring on cable from cab is completely compressed then release only cable from transmission to lock down clip and slide collar back over. Cable is already adjusted if done this way. I don't know if aftermarket is same, but trust me use OEM as this is not a job you will want to tackle anytime soon after.
Defiantly BUY AC DELCO. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY LIKE ME TO SAVE MONEY. YOU WILL PAY AGAIN. THANKS
Thanks man I have 99silverado and you helped me alot brother keep the videos going thank you im going to fix my truck now thanks again

Great video thank you for fixing your truck while looking thru your camera, I know it wasn't easy.
Thanks for watching and commenting
Hey thanks for this post . Mine wasn't broken but it had popped off that little grease fitting looking nipple under the seat. Would have never found it on my own. Bless you..thanks
Jason Rupe Thank you for watching and commenting
There are two cables for your truck.
Identical except for the length.
One is about 7” longer.
The front half is the same length the second half is longer. Probably why you had to use old “second half”.
Great video!!
Yes , thanks for watching and sharing the info.
Awesome video. Best I've seen.
I'd buy you a few beers for this video, thank you
Thank you for watching and commenting
Good Video Terry
Great how to buddy!
I have a stiff cable in my Duramax that needs changing. Doesn't look too bad but more challenging than the one in my Ford Super Duty. That one is a piece of cake to change
Very detailed... great video.
Great video, thanks for making and uploading it!
Thanks for watching
@@wtbm123 e Terri quip
@@wtbm123 will the lower cable push into the upper, without removing the e clip?
Thanks for the upload.
Great detail and excellent video!
+Troy Smith Thank You
For others doing this, when squeezing the black clips (at 5:15 in the video for the steering column, but also underneath), my 97 suburban required pliers and quite a bit of force. And do get AC Delco! Thanks again for the awesome video.
thanks for this video ill being adjusting my cable based on this info thanks man

A great video...thank you, Sir. 🇨🇦
Thank you
You know what it a new cable on, but when i shift down, feels like its loose, and wont go back to park, stays at reverse, any idea how I can keep cable tight, and the plastic piece for cable adjustments is so hard to push back in
Quite informative.
Nice Job great info.
thanks for the video helped me a lot!
Thank you for watching and commenting
Good info. Thanks Terry.
very helpful. thanks for your help!
Thanks for stopping by
@ 0:57 When you said they pop off sometimes, mine has just popped off. But when I try to connect them back together, it seems that I can just pull it off again.. like its missing a bushing or something to lock them together.. What is this called? I need to get my truck fixed before monday for work. I cant find any parts online that have this item
adding to my earlier post my truck is always on neutral when I turn it off and back on it still remains in neutral. I'll move the lever and it'll just show that it's still in neutral.
I am attempting to find out what fuel line/ fuel line component sits directly above the auto transmission shifter cable underneath the truck. There is a leak I am trying to diagnose and any hint of what fuel line parts are directly above that would be appreciated!
Cool beanzz..didn't look to tough to do..nice video Terry...CJ
Very helpful made it a simple job thks
Thank you for watching and commenting
WTBM123, Looks like one has to do a lot of bending and stretching to get the cable out and back in.... Good video, thanks for posting
Yes That is true , hard to get comfy and work under the column. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks for explaining why it does this lol couldn’t figure that part out just knew it was broke
Thank you for stopping by and commenting
nice how to. Well explained
Do you happen to know the part number for the gm cable?
good video very detailed
Thank you
great job! thanks
Thank you. Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
I can not thank you enough. Step by Step i just installed my new cable. With a few adjustments to align the linkage, I am back on the road.
I thank you for watching
@@wtbm123 u know where to find clip that attaches the cables in middle?
Thanks im gonna go try to do this right now
Hope all goes well . Thanks for stopping by and commenting
awesome job, good guy. thanks
Thanks for watching!
That was very helpful thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I have a 1995 gmc serria and it won't go into gear. at the steering column you can move the shifter and you can see it move underneath but no drive or reverse it won't move. so it's internals on the linkage that is the problem;? I think. what do you think it might be?
I was driving when the problem happend I lost power on my take off. I came to a stop at light went to go through and u heard a poping noise and it would not go.
Great video
Thank you
i have a 1999 chevy crew cab with the small block 350. this shi jus helped my ass so much

Can you help with AC Delco part number? 2000 Silvy 4.8 2wd ext cab.... I'm pulling up too many different parts that don't really look like a match. Plus Chevy has apparently changed the part number.... Just need someone to confirm part before I buy one. Thx. Video is helpful.
Narrator sounds like Karl from Sling blade...made me laugh while I was learning how to do it. Entertaining!
thanks
bullitt65 LOL Thank you for watching and commenting
Very well done! Followed this and had very little trouble. Main problem for me was getting the tab to align with the slot at the steering column end. It kept being 180 from where it needed to be and I couldn't get my hand or any tool in to turn it. Finally removed the junction box and holder and easily put it into place. Still having an issue getting into first but all back together. The video says to lengthen to get 1st but it appears the rubber "O" ring that seals the cable is showing when I do that. I'll keep trying. Again, thanks for taking the time to put this video together! Eldon
+Sandy Dimick Glad it helped . and thanks for watching and commenting
Good stuff.
Video was great and very informative, the job was much easier to tackle thanks to the instructions. The only problem that I am having is how to remove the cable connector retaining clip. I have a Haynes manual that shows using a pair of needle nose pliers to pull down on the center tabs to remove it. I can not get this procedure to work. Any help that you can give would be greatly appreciated
Great video...my 2000 Tahoe was really hard to move shifter that's was the problem i ordered the cable before watching video i figured it was the cable ....i ordered the ac delco cable and it fit perfect i set the cable adjustment the same as the old one .....not bad mouthing the video just order the factory cable right on amazon it was cheep the guy who did this video I thank you again for your time in Chicago ill buy you dinner
I agree Use a AC Delco cable here. I tried to stress that in the video ,because the aftermarket ones may be cheaper to buy but not to put on.. Most all of the aftermarket ones i have put on ,do not fit right.
YES BUY AC DELCO, DONT GO CHEAP ON THIS PART. YOULL PAY FOR IT LATER. SPEND THE $200 or more, you can do it yourself under 3-4 hours tops if you have basic tools.
heck of a how to i would have a time doing that with both hands and your doing it with a camera, nice
I just need the bottom cable replaced. Do yiu know if i connect a new lower cable the the old upper cable will that work since there is a little retaining pin that holds them together? I'm trying to avoid replacing both if i don't have to. I just didnt know if i could add the new upper one later on or if its a pain to get them disconnected once they are locked together
Should be able to i would think.
Thank u very much. 96 4x4 Tahoe.
Thank You for watching and commenting
thank you for the video. my struck shows that it's on neutral and the shifter will move but it'll show that it's not moving. so Ima check to see if this is hopefully the problem
+Ram San If shifting ok the cable is prob not it , but the indicator is just not moving
what all tools are needed?
I have a connector under my carpet that I don't know what it goes too. I gutted the interior and don't know where this goes to now that it's time to put it back together. 97 chevy
That did look like a pain, but it should last a loooooong time now :-))
Dont forget to ask wilber to inspect your work he he :-))
Damn the bracket that holds in the cable behind sterring column is tough, having a hell of a time with it right now
Yes that may be the hardest part
@@wtbm123 but I got it, in about 10 minutes when you said fish hook it, I stepped away a minute came back got it right on. I appreciate the video, helped me with my 04 Chevy avalanche 2500, exact same layout
Only thing I’m finding wrong with the video is you don’t tell us the sizes for the bolts and screws, aside for that it’s very insightful
Thanks for watching and commenting
Excellent!
Thanks
What is that clip called
So I am having the same issue, used an aftermarket cable from O'Reillys. It will not shift onto Park or 1st. I adjusted the heck outa it, no progress, so, I am going to have to spend another 80 bucks to get an AC Delco, I guess. Thanks for video.
Thanks for the info
@@wtbm123 No, Thank You! I looked all over the Utube, you are the only one that published that info. I got the AC Delco cable from Chevy Dealer here in ABQ, NM. Adjusted it to center like you said, and it banged every gear, the first time, just like down town. I was able to get a full refund from O'Reillys, I explained to the manager, it would not adjust correctly. It did not function properly. My girl friends has been very happy and it works perfect. Thanks again. Semper Fi.
2011 chevy silverado..my truck just turned off on me when i put it in reverse..a broken cable would it also prevent vehicle from turning on?
Not sure just how the 11 is set up . but if safety natural switch is not showing park or natural it will not start
I have the opposite problem the shift cable ears broke off where it attaches to bracket down by the pan. I have a new cable I have the same connector as you by the floor. I can't figure out how it comes apart to install the new cable. I slide the red clip down and turned the blue sleeve, But I the must be one more step before it comes apart, right?
bullitt65 only connector by the floor was the adjuster . not sure if yours is the same , but collar slides back and then pull out the clip.
any idea on how to get the black nipple piece to stay in? its rusted out on my truck and is just about to fall out is there anything I could do to fix it?
+Keenon Helms not sure what u mean , unless it is the boot that goes to the floor . you would need to fix the rust .
thanks
Would it be similar for a 1997 gmc 4×4 dump truck 454 engine 3500 single cab
little different i think , but kinda same idea
I have the same exact damage on my cable and the floor pan is rusted out and there is no way to secure the cable to the floor pan.
Wondering if I'll have to fabricate some sort of floor pan to secure the cable or will it work just going through the rust hole and hanging there loose ?
It would still work , just make sure it does not rub through on a sharp edge
Hell, as usual I didn't open the box when I bought the cable and of course it was the wrong cable. I hooked it up anyway and just pull and push on the cable where it hangs out of the dash below the steering wheel to change gears.
HA HA
My anti-theft system now.
I'm trying to replace this on my 04 duramax, and cable(from the dealer) seems too long, it only meets the transmission lever when the lever is in park and the cable in the low position? I do not understand this
+matthew bell i would compare with old and see if same size , other than bending something i believe the connector in the middle of cable is only adjustment
Thanks Thomas dear Sir I am see your video in. Qatar 🇶🇦🤲🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
Thank you . And Hello .
What is the part number for the gm cable? Im having trouble finding the correct one.
I am not sure , but if you call most dealers , give them the vin tag number from your vehicle they will usually give you your correct part number
Got a ? I took mine off to install a stall now it wont line back up to the linkage on the trans should i replace it?
If it worked fine till removed , maybe the shifter is not in park . I would inspect cable if all looks good , then look at anything that was removed and put back to be sure it is on proper
hey the clamp in the steering column that the staple came through, how did you pinch those things to push it out if that metal bracket
Try a small screw driver or hose pliers sometimes works .
@@wtbm123 My shift linkage on my 2002 Cadillac Escalade is loose I think it's that little staple metal piece that you popped off from the bracket how do I get a new one of those and should I just replace that I really need help because my truck won't go anywhere because it won't go in gear
hey how u doing man i have a question my gmc sierra. 2000 -v6. no 4x4. the transmission. only. goo in reverse. not in d 1 2 3. is not shifting do u think is becuz the cable. o need new transmission???
If the cable moves the shift lever on transmission full travel in both directions , then prob not the cable
Aaron Hernandez hey same here how did you fix it
