1999 Saturn SL1 1.9 manual...bushing broken/missing on shifter cable. Can I fix/buy just the bushing, or do I need to get the whole cable? And which one there are so many?
Hello:
NAPA sells the replacement bushing ($20) better than Saturns $200 to replace both cables.
Good luck
I have the same problem and I drilled and taped the ball on the shifter and bolted the cable to the shifter

OK went to three different junk yards. I bought a used assembly. They wouldn't let me get just the clip or one cable. $50. A new one runs 175-200 plus tax. I have it disconnected on the inside. Now would like info on what to do under the hood. It must be simple. Took the man at the yard 30 minutes. Twice!! He got one off an automatic the first time. I sent him back for the right part.
Have to take lots of time outs. heat index is 100 and I have high bp at 49F. Got the cables disconnected under the hood. small clip on tip of each one came off with fingers. And flat 90 degree medium clip on each one holding outer sleeve to bracket. Came off with fingers. Now it has a (I'm guessing) rubber boot holding the 2 cables to the inner firewall. (wall near gas pedal) Not strong enough to pull or yank the heck out of it to get it out. Going for larger screwdriver to poke and jab.
Nevermind...I got it out already!!! Used extender bar and hammer from the inside and beat it out. Then wiggled and pushed till I got the inside part of the cables through the little hole.Yeah for me!! Saturn of Mesquite wanted 600 to fix it....200 for the part and 400 for the labor. They are very good and I do recommend them on Saturns. They've fixed my 93 I had when no one else could on electrical. Taking a break again before putting used one in reverse order of course. Thanks anyway. Hope this helps someone else with the same problem.Linda
