To permanently solve this issue take the shifter arm off the transmission and cut the peg off of the shifter arm then drill a small hole through it. Now you will be able to use a small bolt, a couple of washers, and a locknut to reconnect the shifter cable for good with a much higher level of security. I haven't had any more issues with it since I performed the surgery on it. This is by far the best fix to solve this common problem and provide peace of mind when driving down the highway, I Promise You

These type of videos so good. Although its named wrong. Should be common things we see that cause a failed shift cable.

lol how I got here when I was looking at at 2010 Jeep Patriot but this I can agree on, I had that issue where I adjusted the linkage so Drive actually went into Drive. After having to re-adjust the cable twice, I figured it was the cable either stretched, or now after watching this video, the bushing is worn out. I bought a new cable & next I'm going to change it. Great video to tell me that I was right when I decided to just replace the cable. So now I'll look for a video showing me what I cannot see, on what I need to do to replace it since it's very hard to see the cable routing on my 2010 Jeep Patriot....

Kinda gettin pissed ngl. A million videos on the stupid bushings cuz it's an easy video to make for an easy an obvious problem. You know what isn't easy and obvious? How to actually do the replacement! Does your cable go through the floor or through the firewall? What electrical connections on the shifter itself need to be made? Can cables snap on the inside of the jacket or lose their tension? If you're reinstalling a transmission should the cable be in park or neutral? Is the only thing that keeps cables from being interchanged the linkage and length or are their other factors? THESE are what I want answers to. Not the thirteen hundredth "your bushing could be loose" video

Not what it was labeled at all. However after getting my clutch changed figured out this is why i couldn't use certain gears

My buddy told me to get an eclip to hold mine on for a quick temporary fix is this not a good idea?

Hi, which colored wire of the transmission is the one to start the car. My father is having problems since he changed the transmission with another one after putting in a gear box yesterday

[meganlacey]

Can the shift linkage cable (or shifter cable) cause gear timing or selection issues such as the speed measured by input shaft speed sensor to be different from the speed of the engine, and therefore TCM/PCM to report "Input Shaft Speed Sensor No Signal" error?

DIY FIX. Get shock absorbent bushings n trim to fit alone with washers that fit inside. You may have to drill out the washer holes to fit. Then get some n use Eclips to hold them in place.
Will save you $30-$200 plus in cable cost alone n mechanics hourly fees.

As much money you bastards make. Off the poor people. Everything on transmission should be fixed or replaced not just painted black blue or silver I have been everywhere in the USA and 90 present the time we the people have to bring the vehicles back for a redo or the 9 dollar and hour help that pay reflects the outcome of are work
