Daughter needs to ID a part
Gave my 97 SL2 manual to my daughter. Shifter stopped working. She and
her BF think they have isolated the problem, but need to know what to call the part so she can call parts houses/dealers. Here is her description: a nickel-sized black plastic cap that holds the hook on the knob at the bottom of the shifter. Does anybody know what this is called? Is it a dealer-only items? Thanks in advance, JimR |

This is $20, far less cheaper than the saturn solution (shift cables). |

Don't bother going to a dealer parts department, as they will only supply the cable assembly. Dorman makes a replacement bushing. Check it out he http://www.amazon.com/Dorman-14043-S.../dp/B000TYONCI This guy sells a similar replacement on eBay. ( IMHO, the eBay one is a better design) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Impro...Q5fAccessories Good luck Words |
