If you're going to show a step by step why not show how the cable goes into the spring retainer in the dash? How do you just say "it's hard to explain" that's your job and part of the steps. It's the only part that I need to see. Bs
Very well descibed!! thanks for the help!!!!
Thats no easy job I hope my liquid nails and rigging holds great video thanks
This helped a lot for AllData is trash and I can only locate the rear half R&R and the adjustment procedure. Although im not sure how you got the front part out of that spring so easy. I may just cut it out and figure it out routing it back in. If I'm not mistaken, that spring is only for cable slop? So it's not just hanging? Could possibly just secure it another way? Or does that spring have an actual function aside from just securing it?
This is all common sense besides the part with the spring , and that’s the part you skipped over .
How do you just put the bottom half do you disconnect the locked clip then add the bottom ?
Good video until you get to the spring under the dash.
I've had a lot of problems with after market shift for cables. With the 2 piece designs.
Great Video and job bro ! I have a question how I know the shift lever is in park position correctly?
Might've been helpful to tell us that the SPRING was wrapped around the cable like a SNAKE and difficult to get out!!
You didn’t show how the cable is fed through under the dash or steering column and that’s the part I’m stuck on.
Two 15 second unskippable ads is too much
Great video. I’ll add that getting the old on out from around the column is the hardest part. Save the hassle and cut it. Feeding the new one up and around is easy. Shouldn’t the adjustment be checked in 1st and neutral?
can't you just change the bottom half???
Thanks bro hate mechanics tryna finesse fr
Perhaps you can tell me why You had to replace the cable in the 1st plquestion mark I just experienced an issue with the linkage on the sterewell just kind of dropped I'm curious if perhaps maybe it's thiscord or cable that either is broker came off underneath is that something that you would experience?
Excellent advice as always thank you very much
Thanks so much I just had to change my shifter cable
Very well described!
Very detailed video thank you. I particularly like the cracked frame above your head @ 0:54.
Does a 2004 Chevy Tahoe use the same cable as a 2004 gmc Denali
Going in the shop
Dude you make it look so easy
Any idea how many inches that cable is? I've got 03 workhorse p42 with a 6 5 diesel and 4l80e tranny. Workhorse wants $300 for an 82 inch shifter cable. Wondering if there is another option or diy. Searched the part number but couldn't find another option.
Can You help with My truck
For anyone only needing the bottom half replaced you can separate the two half’s after already connected old to new either way
