1998 Chevy K1500 Shift Cable Adjustment
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- This is how you adjust your shift cable if your old Chevy truck won't go into park and your cable doesn't have the separate adjustment apparatus found on the '99 and later model trucks.
I have a 97 so it was a little different but: your video helped my 2 year old and a I get out of a national forrst after our first mudding adventure. Could barely get service and you were the 2nd video we found. Can't thank you enough, you literally saved us 100$+ for a tow. Great video, thanks for your work
Just changed my cable. This really helped. That white push up lock, has flared out ends. Pressing in and up is necessary. I did this cable adjustment prior to changing it out, but mine was stripped. I had jerked on lever a week earlier while parked on an incline. Stretched cable..its all good now. Thanks again.
Thank you for being the only video useful
Thanks for your video I read the haynes also chilton books and could not figure out their description on how to adjust the cable but your video was so very simple. Thank you for making this video.
Ah ha mine doing the same thing and I’ve been trying to figure out how to adjust it finally found your video
Thanks I just hope this works
I have written instructions for this procedure in a manual. I couldn't figure out what the heck they were talking about. My problem is that it's hard to shift out of park. I thought maybe a cable adjustment was needed but after watching this I can tell it's not the problem, one less thing I have to futz with. Thanks for posting this!
Ponder Rous have you figured out the problem my truck just started doing the same thing
It was the shift interlink. It was worn out. About $60 off amazon.

I am having same issue coming out of park. Shift interlock?
Thank you so much for taking the time to make that video I was having problems finding one myself so it worked out for you didn't excellent job thank you again
Thanks for this video man. I had this problem for two years and couldn't figure it out. Couldn't find it nowhere's. Done and done
That’s what mine has been doing I’m in the garage now getting ready to try this.
Hope it works
Thanks for the video 👍🇺🇸
Okay guys having trouble popping the white clip out, put your transmission in neutral first. It relieves pressure on the clip otherwise you'll break it.
Secondly, to the people who can't get it in P to start it pro tip: your truck will also start in N (neutral)
Okay for the actual adjustment, after popping the white clip, go from P to 1 a few times, then pop it back into P. If the LED light for P comes on, then go underneath the vehicle and pop the clip back in.
Be aware, you cannot pop the clip straight in or straight out with pliers flatly. You must angle the pliers so that the white clip can penetrate through the other side. It cannot if the other jaw of your pliers is pressing against it.
But what if it doesn’t shift from p to 1 I can only go from p to 3
After doing the process, it still won’t shift into park and the led doesn’t go to park but stays in reverse. Do you know why? Do I maybe need a new shifter cable?
Exactly what I needed! Mine did the same thing last night.
Great video and thanks for posting!! Looks like the cable stretched so much, that it's beyond adjustment and your transmission column will not down to 1. My 97 GMC K1500 suburban has the same issue. Have to replace the cable if I want speeds 1&2 manually!!
Thanks for having this Video Uploaded!!!!! I just had this same problem happen to me to after getting home from work will work on it right now.
I just bought a 95 ck and it won't stay in parking gear the plastic pin was loose ,so i took it off to clean it but 2 small springs came off not sure where they go now lol , anyways i put the plastic pin back in place and secure it with a zip tie and boom it work tnks for posting the video
thank you for this video, worked perfect
My shift cable kept popping out of this connection, preventing park. I think it is because the lever that goes into the tranny is really rough. I don't have any money so I wrapped wire and electrical tape around the cable and connection. I can go into park again! Hope it holds for a while. I can definitely feel the restriction in the lever.
Thanks. Would go to park tight. That ajustment. on how you did it was all I need to know.. My mistake was when l replace the piece I push it all the way in to the end then I push the pin in to set it and locked. No wonder it was out of ajustment. Yep. I'll have it done your way now. Thanks again.
Tried squeezing that white clip with pliers like you did. The back side of it just got crushed flush, won't pop out. Tried putting a nut in front of the crushed end to have something to keep pressing it, won't come out .
Maybe I'll try heating it up, I don't know
Just put a new shift cable in couldn't get second or first and sloppy when it went in to park.. move your shift linkage all the way back to first move the shifter lever on the column all the way to first now push your white clip in.. done.. first cable was a doorman couldn't get it to adjust right, the hard plastic body that goes in the mounting bracket is to long so you can't get it in first.. second cable was ACDelco was able to move it into first and adjustment, so I have all my gears and Park.. and that's in a 96 2500 plow truck that sees a lot of 'reverse and drive'..
Also for similar problems your adjustment might be all greasy or oily preventing it from grasping tightly
Hey thanks for this it's exactly whet my Truck is doing and pissing me off.
This didn't work on mine. Tried it multiple times and still won't go to park. Now it won't even move to reverse
I have same problem.. How did you fix it
@@James-zt1hd I ended up putting a new shifter cable on. It wasn't that hard. Had to remove front driver seat
Thanks for the video👍
Seriously....? This is the best video out there? Doing steps off camera, and no focus
Complainer
Always a troll
was this the suburban or the pick up that you work on in this video?
How does this adjust the cable going back and fourth
Can you go into 1st gear now?
My park lights stay on without the key in the ignition and I can shift the gears freely. Any ideas? Why doesn’t it shit to 1
Thank you boss appreciation
Very helpful
Thanks
Do you replace the clip that was removed to make the adjustment? I'm referring to the one that you removed that was not shown on your video.
What was the issue?
I have a question for you my 2000 it would not let me go to park I have to start in nutritional an I put it in drive it will not shift to second gear or any other gears what would I have to change to fix it
thank you for the video
I could not get the clip up,how hard do you need to push?
So it sets itself to where it should be when you cycle the shifter?
Mine detached into 2 pieces is there a pin that hold the cable to the lever or just the clip
I cant ahuft my truck past D and its hard to get out of deive its a 98 sierra anyhelo?
Were your brake lights out before you adjusted the shift cable?
Some poping noise in the transmission, stopped running in gear, what caused the stop the mobility
Do you know what that little white clip is called
I have a similar issue but I can go into gear but won't go out and I got to shift it from part to drive till it lets me go to 1 and back to park
My truck was working fine I was disconnecting my trailer. Now it stays stuck in park and the gear moves freely but won't go in gear. Is that what was happening to you? I'm asking to see if I change this it will flood problem
You probably fixed it by now but your shifting/trans cable snapped
Is it the same for a 94
Can this work if my truck is having issues shifting gears while driving ?
Try hotshot additive and a corvette servo…. It’s helped plenty of these transmissions for me. Just my two cents
I have a 99 Chevy Tahoe when I shift down into drive my light goes away if I do that adjustment would that fix that problem I can wiggle the handle and the light come back on in the drive I replace the shifter by the steering column so the only other thing I know to do is try what he just did or replace the shift interlock solenoid
My 98 siv does that but it not a problem causer just a nuisance
So, mine will not shift into Park no matter what. it stops at reverse every single time
Justin Gauger having the same issue what did you figure out?
Angelo Gonzalez i bought a new one. works perfect now
@@lightningsurvivor1432 bought a new what? I’m having the same issue
@@GreyFOx-jh5zpprobably a new cable… GM preferably but the dorman cables work 50/50…
skip the first minute and 25 seconds
I have the same problem but my truck won't start
Ivan Zubia try forcing and holding shifter in park as you turn it on
Ivan Zubia you can shift it to neutral and it will start.
Got it to go to park, now it won't shift down past Overdrive....???
I’m having the same problem with my 96 GMC Yukon. Did you find a fix for your truck ?
Idle at 60...needs a oil sending unit too.

Yeah I tried that and as I was running it through the gears to adjust it the Goddamn shift lever broke off in my hand. I looked at it and it's made of pot metal!! WTF? Chevy.... what a piece of crap.
I have a 2013 chevy 1500LT suburban. ..
Terrible instruction man
