2003 04 05 Chevrolet Cavalier & Pontiac Sunfire Broken Auto Transmission Shift Cable Bushing Repair
This video highlights repair of a broken plastic bushing within the Automatic Transmission Range Selector Cable at the Transmission Range Selector Lever end under the hood. This is the most common cause of the console shifter not actuating the transmission gear while still being able to cycle thru the various range selections inside the vehicle. In this video you will learn how to replace just the bushing at the cable end using a Dorman part, rather than the entire cable. The genuine GM / ACDelco part number is included to optionally perform the full cable replacement (but this procedure is not shown).
The specific vehicle shown is a 2004 Chevy Cavalier, but the procedure will also apply to 2003 and 2005 model years, as well as to the Pontiac Sunfire models of the same years.
