Saturn Vue Repair broken manual shift cable adjuster. I did this one on the fly, didn’t really have time to do a detailed presentation. A common break on the manual transmission Saturn Vues is the plastic cable adjuster breaks loose from the gear shift.
Video that shows removal of the center dash console if needed.

was on the freeway when that plastic connector disassembled :p Once it is assembled at the factory, it should have epoxy applied to ensure it stays assembled.
I only had 3rd and 4th gears. Mine was a broken left bushing. I tried to unsuccessfully push the bushing onto the shifter pin by hand but wound up needing a C clamp. The clamp is the trick.
I had removed the cover over the shifter and those parts looked like they were working so I went under the hood and thanks to that part in your video I saw that the cable had a slide kind of holder that held it in place so the cable part could be steady and the actual moving part switched the gears. I had put it in reverse kind of hard and I popped it out. It seems like it shifts a lot better now than it has been shifting. Thanks for the short and concise post of areas to look at for problems. It’s 10:00 in the evening and I didn’t want to Uber to work tomorrow. THANK YOU !!!

Hey Jackleg, I'm wondering if you can help me out. I have an 03 with 160xxx on it and the same thing happened to me. I've done everything you said and have been trying to fix it, but when it cane to prying the thing off with a flathead screwdriver, all my little flange piece did was break off. Should I just keep prying until the whole thing shatters and then take it off from there? I dont think it'd hurt anything as long as I didnt bend the cable or something. Thanks for your time and thanks for the video.
second time mine has broken. ordered the part instead of paying a guy 200 to fix it like last time. any chance you think anyone could find someone to recast it out of metal so it stops happening or does it HAVE to be plastic…
Jealous mind didn't come off that easy lol
Been a couple of months…but here's a update. I gave in and took it to a mechanic. It was the cables that needed to be replaced. It cost about $475 here in Florida. I can now shift gears normally…and I changed the oil myself for the first time on this car. it sits at 251,000 miles and heading to 300K or more.
That you and bless you for taking the time to share this. Mine broke this evening and I will be ordering a new part to replace it myself. I have the shop manual for my 2006 Saturn Vue and it totally sucks. I has no information whatsoever on this are of the transmission. Thank God for YouTube and people such as yourself.
