YOU ARE THE MAN! I was ready to call a tow truck. Picked up the bushing for $13.00 crawled under inserted the bushing …done! At 68 it took me longer to get out from under my Yukon. Thanks again big help.
Thanks for the video! I drive 28 miles to work. Mine broke at a gas station a mile from my site. Got a ride , saw your video, called a dealer. He said they only sell the entire cable. Seeen you had mentioned the part #. Went to O'reileys, struggled for 3 1/2 hours in the gas station parking lot. Zip tied it, got it to my site. Had to shave down the bushing to get it in. I used my grinder.. You saved me a tow bill, and who knows what a shop would have charged. THANKS!!!!
You helped me save my mom! Her Tahoe was stuck in park in front of the hospital she works! If not for your video she would be impeding ambulances and we were able to get in neutral and push to a safe park space where I can fix it tomorrow
Awesome and very helpful video! I just want you to know that your efforts to help others by sharing your knowledge is extremely appreciated, you are an incredible human!!!
@@mcrum4421 quick question, did not find a good vid how to take out the old one. mines worn. brought my van in for a trans fluid change and filter. two days later my cable falls off. mangled mess of zip ties. i think the person i brought it to. i had the trans rebuilt 2.5 years ago and i only have 10k on it. i moved so i brought to a new place and no way have i been riding with those tiny zip ties for over 2 years. they were also rather shiny black. i live in new Hampshire and that's two winters its been thru and those would have been covered in crap not shiny if they been there for years.
Sounds fishy to me. But I don’t want to assume anything. It seems like good help is hard to find anymore. The bushing is plastic so it should come right off with a pair of pliers. Lubing/greasing the new bushing one will make it easier to pop on to the transmission linkage post.
Mine just stop shifting a couple days ago and this video help me get the truck back and running. I was about to call a tow truck but I was like let me RUclips it first before I do that and luckily this person had made this video
Wife’s Tahoe did this this morning found a Dorman bushing at autozone for 8 bucks to replace it was able to pop it on in about 5 mins with out any type of clamp super easy fix thanks for the help
Thanks brother you helped save my life my truck means the world to me so when I ran into this problem I was depressed because I have a low budget and I thought it was my interlock solenoid but then once I replaced it my shifter still wouldn’t work but then I watched your video and BOOM 💥 FIX THANKS AGAIN MAN 💪🏾👍🏾
phew man, my step dads landscaping 2500HD just got stuck in park, I figured it was that too, and pulled out the electrical harness to bypass interlock solenoid and it worked (parts coming in from Amazon as I write this comment). I told him if that doesn't fix our issue it can be some other MUCH more difficult problems or links under the truck or in transmission lol. I know how that feeling is when your first guess isn't it- but this vid shows a nice and easy fix for the second seemingly common problem with transmission shifters in these GMs. Great job!
You are amazing. Just wanted to let you know, I was stuck in the parking lot when this happened, stuck on reverse, with my suburban butt sticking it. I was able to borrow some duct tape, wrap it up and at least get it in drive and get back to a good location. Thank you so much, you saved my night.
Maaan! This was just what I needed. My Shifter came off while I was out at the store. Your video was the first to come up, and I was able to rig it to make it home. Thanks!
This was exactly my problem! I actually checked under the vehicle first and I didn’t have to do the extra work under the steering wheel. Thanks a lot!! Just an added note: I used the clear bushing; it was less struggle to install and it stays on.
Dude thank you so much 😂 had just gotten to work tonight, and it broke in reverse, so I had to put the parking brake on and had no idea what happened. This helps me have an idea of what to do.
Thanks for the video. Minor point, soaking the plastic bushing in very hot water makes it flexible and a lot easier to install. Mine broke last night as I was pulling into parking space at home. Checked YT and yours was one the first video's to come up. Just fixed my Silverado 2500HD
Excellent presentation and technique on how to fix this problem. The generic replacement part can be challenging when using a Jack and a rack is not available.
Just had this happen to me today. I ran over a tree branch on the road from hurricane Ivan. I got home and went to put into park and had this problem. LOL, all I could think was oh no big bucks. Thank you for explaining it so well. 2013 Chevy Silverado WT. Dorman part number 14104.
Mannnnn you just don’t know how this video saved the day. It was raining and I was in front of a business.. I got it together and got it back to the house
Thank you so much for this video! Last night I tried to reverse, and the entire great shift just fell. I'm going to get the part and hopefully have it fixed before my husband gets home (he will be both proud and happy that he didn't have to do it haha). Liked and subscribed!
Thanks, brother. I appreciate the information. I have an 05 Tahoe and a 13 Silverado. both of them this happened to, and I've been riding around with a damn rubber band on them. Finally went to my auto parts store got the right piece. I am glad you showed me about the 9-16th socket that made all the difference in the world. Thank you
The bushing I used was made by Dorman part number 14055. I bought it at an O’Reilly Auto Parts. It came with two bushings. A clear and a white one. I used the white one. It was a booger to squeeze in. An extra set of hands would of been helpful. Unfortunately my helper hurt her hand in a fireworks accident a few days before I made this video.
Awesome find! How did you go about searching for that particular Dorman part and part number? I'm in dire need of a new gear shift selector bushing for an 06 GMC Savanah and would like to find one asap but not sure how to search Dorman for that exact part(?)
Thanks for the video! This video helped me through my issue i really appreciate you taking the time out of your day to help regular Joe's get stuff done! Keep making vids!
Thank you very much! I picked up that same bushing for my 2011 Chevy Express 3500. Definitely aggravating to install. I ran wire ties through it and large spacer before tightening down with C clamp.
I almost bought the whole cable until I saw this video. Mine came loose on the bottom half like yours this might save me some time and money thanks dude
It took me a lil more time than it should of for me to put it on. You can hear the night critters getting louder as the video goes along. An extra set of hands would of really been helpful for me
You saved me so much time and money! I am out here with my sheep and my only my mother went to turn on my truck to get more water for the sheep and no shifting at all - if it wasn’t for this video I would have been so much poorer and without a vehicle for however long! Thanks so much 🤍
2009 Silverado? That bushing registers as not the right fit. Can you confirm if you went with this bushing even when the website didn’t register as the right fit? I have a 09 Silverado 1500 and looking for a different bushing and saw this bushing so I’m wondering if this is better for the fit.
@How To With This Dude An actual part number for the bushing in the caption/comments/etc would have been great here (trying to find it locally, having zero luck)... Very helpful nonetheless, thanks for posting (I refuse to spend $500+ to replace the entire cable on an 11 year old vehicle).
Men you literally saved me to loose 10k, i had everything ready to sell my avy and afew hours before the transaction this little part broke up!!!! thanks for the info
I literally just got off work and it did not wanna shift and I was loosing my brain , I had just fixed a major issue , I zipped tied it for now when the auto part opens up in a bit ima go and fix it
Thank you so much bro This just happened to me I was about to call a tow truck I live in New York I got stuck in Philly That would have been a long tow truck ride a lot of money watch your video went underneath the car found the problem I did that put the car in drive park is slipped out again so what I did I got a piece of electrical wire stripped the plastic off use the bare copper strap that puppy on it twisted it with a wrench
Everybody is different but the Dorman 14073 bushing kit from the Auto Parts store does work best all you need is a cord or cordless drill, 3/8 drill bit or I’ve found that the 7/16 bit works best and pliers with 5 minutes or less of your time then done! No huge heavy C-Clamp or socket
I just replace the bushing and the C clamp method sucks ass so what I did was got a bolt with 2 washers and a nut and tightened it until it was locked in place and it snapped right on!
Use the 14073 bushing for 2005 to 2012 Chevy Silverado. The one it suggest really doesn't work if your having a difficult time putting it in just get a small drill bit and shave each side of the hole and then snap the bushing in.. Shaving the hole makes the job a snap the suggested bushing does not work
I’m concerned the bushing will pop off again. I notice there is a channel cut at the end of the shaft. What do you think about snapping a c- clip retainer on to prevent it from coming off again as many say has happened?
This is the second video on this subject that I have seen and both fail to use a drop light to illuminate the underside properly. I can't see in the dark as I suspect many others also can't . Not trying to be mean but would help if we could actually see the work your conducting under the vehicle.
I apologize for responding so late. My daughter set this channel up for me so I don’t get on here much. I believe I got mine at an O’Reilly’s. I have seen them at other auto parts store such as an Auto Zone.
I tried for the LONGEST trying to get the white bushing in and could not get it. I used the method in this video perfectly and it would not go in. I ended up using the clear one. The clear one doesn’t seem as tight, but it still takes a decent amount of force to pop off from the selector. If it pops off down the line, I’ll put another in lol
Just happned to me while taking the tahoe in for a oil change lol the new bushing was a bi#$% to get in and the e ring that locks it all in place wasn't very friendly either but it's working now lol

They probably would have charged you for a whole new transmission

I can’t thank you enough. Dealership said I had to buy the cable to get the bushing !
You saved me $200.
i bought my bushing from AutoZone for 7.99 it was in the isle near the trailer lights.
Purchased mine at Oreillys worked great.

I was stranded and I was able to fix my truck with this video, thx.
You were stranded and had the bushing ? I was just able to throw it on loosely and get into gear

This happened to our Tahoe last night. Great video on how to install the bushing.
Before watching the video I was gonna buy the whole cable and replace, thx to you I just need to buy the bushing and replace. Great video sir

Me too…. Thank you sir
I would like to mention that this video is also for those Cadillac Escalades 07-14. Very helpful video! Thank you!
Thank you brother! Being a RUclips mechanic I appreciate all the advice! Simple pimple - beats the hair tie rig!
This was exactly my problem! I actually checked under the vehicle first and I didn’t have to do the extra work under the steering wheel. Thanks a lot!! Just an added note: I used the clear bushing; it was less struggle to install and it stays on.
Do you k ow what size the bushing was?
Is the bushing still holding up?

2006 5.3 crewcab Silverado 2wd. I used the Doorman part#14041 installed less than 5 min
Thanks for the instructions.
I would have tried to put the bushing in backwards.

Very helpful thanks 🙌🏽🙌🏽
thank you. It is useful
Thank you thank you this was very helpful
Always check under the vehicle first to see if the cable is disconnected because you don’t have to take anything apart.
Awesome thanks so much. Looks like an easy fix.
Thank you so much for this video! You saved me a lot of 💰💰💰. Thank you so much my friend!!

Grasias por el video
Thanks needed this!!!
I tried for the LONGEST trying to get the white bushing in and could not get it. I used the method in this video perfectly and it would not go in. I ended up using the clear one. The clear one doesn’t seem as tight, but it still takes a decent amount of force to pop off from the selector. If it pops off down the line, I’ll put another in lol
You can heat up water in microwave and put the white one in the water then quickly install. I took the hot water under the vehicle with me.
That was it,
Thanks for the video
This was very helpful. Thank you!
Just happned to me while taking the tahoe in for a oil change lol the new bushing was a bi#$% to get in and the e ring that locks it all in place wasn't very friendly either but it's working now lol
Great video! Thank you!

Thanks you've saved my week
