You just saved me!!! I was stuck inside a car wash when this happened to me and 33 weeks pregnant. I managed to shimmy myself under the vehicle and the very kind car wash attendant was able to get the cable reconnected and me out of the wash. I’m safely at home now and have a fun project for my husband when he gets home. THANK YOU SO MUCH !! You’ve got my subscription and my husband owes you! ❤️
This video saved what could have been a bad day!! Mine broke while shifting back to park in a Staples parking lot, it only got to reverse and was stuck there. Watched your video and walked the 3 blocks to/from the Autozone. THANKS!
Mine was at target in reverse as well. Watched this while there got underneath, put it in park, started it back up, drove home and took my fiance's car to oreilys. Now I'm back rolling. Thanks for the video man. Epic save
My daughter is doing the same thing we paid a man $250 he only fixed the cable. He took all the parts around from the in fact I don't believe he's coming back and me and my daughter have been left stuck without being able to make it to work grocery store anything for the past 2 days and Monday morning is back to work. At this point I don't know who to turn to far is fixing it but I do know I had to give it to God we're actually going into 2 years new here in Huntsville Alabama and it's sad when people do you like this when all you're trying to do is make it. We're not mechanics but if you could tell us where we might can go to or find someone to help us get this fixed it will be greatly appreciated please and thank you. Sad part is this is my 22 year old daughter first vehicle.
This video saved our family trip to my daughter’s pageant, 2 hours away. Literally had the whole family loaded up, went to shift into drive, to pull away, and the gear shift had nothing, just like the video shows. One trip to the parts store & 15 minutes of work, then we were on our way. Thank you so much for sharing.
You’re a life saver, brother. I was lucky enough that it happened in park in my driveway. You saved what I thought was going to be a bad Friday. If you’re ever in west Texas, the beers are on me.
As someone who gets a lot of thankful comments from viewers, I just have to say that you are also so deserving of praise for this video. I just had this issue and I was able to pop mine back on for a temporary fix while I order a replacement bushing. Thanks so much for saving me a bunch of money dude!! Much love 🙏🏼
Just want to say this video literally saved our whole day. This ended up happening to us while we were out and about with our children. Thankfully we were near the auto store and my husband was able to get the bushings and we were all so very grateful when it fixed the issue. People like you that do these videos really make so much of a difference for people. Thank you for taking the time and detail to do this video. You have no idea what sort of positive impact this can have on so many people. It was such a blessing to stumble upon your video today when we were at a complete loss as to what our issue even was. Thank you.
Thank you! I didn't have channel locks to push the bushing on, so I used vice grips and the closed side of a 9/16 wrench. Wrench on the outside, squeeze it on with the vice grips, and then work the wrench back and forth to get the bushing to pop on. Appreciate it, sir!
Broke down in Texas, 1 mile away from an AutoZone. This video saved my bacon. He even tells you what size to use so you’re not fumbling around underneath the truck. I was able to do it with a pair of channel locks. Thank you so much for this video. God bless
Just so happened to be out with my wife, and we saw someone who was stuck in a drive-through with this problem. Finding this solution helped that man to know the problem. Thanks for helping him
I was just stuck at home after picking up my kids from school. Glad the school was only a block away. Came home did a google search and found your video. It was exactly what you said. The shifter cable came off. Thank you again.
My son recently got a truck and this happened to him. Thankfully it wasn't too far from home. At first, I thought this was going to be very expensive fix. Thanks to your video, this allowed me to get him home and get it fixed. Thanks for posting this. Looks like you've been helping a lot of people with this video. God bless you and your Dad.
Thank you so so much!!!! On our way to a rented cabin with our boat and suburban packed with our family of 5 and the shifter wouldn’t work. We prayed and found your video! Saved our trip! Thank you so much!!!♥️🙏🏼♥️
I was just in the airport loading area, and mine fell off in reverse. I ended up using a hair tie. It got me home and saved me money on a tow truck. So, thanks for taking the time to make this video, saved me all kinds of hassle
I just pulled in my driveway and had thr same thing happen. I googled the issue, found your video and in under 5 minutes the problem was diagnosed & confirmed. Thank you so much for making this video!!!
This literally just happened to me. I called my insurance for a tow truck and was ready to just tow it home. I was praying, and God said check youtube. This video came up first and low and behold this is exactly what happened. I fixed it, and now my Suburban is good. Thank you so much, sir!! God Bless you!!!
A quick search and I came across your video. This is exactly what happened to me. It can be a challenge getting the bushing in to place without damaging it and the c-clamp helps. The socket is a creative workaround. You are a lifesaver!
Thank you so very much !!! You just saved our trip ! We were just about to depart for a trip to New York to get our new camper when this happened. I ran to my local Western Auto and they had this kit and I had it fixed in a jiffy. We are on the road now thanks to you !!!! I cannot thank you enough !
This just saved my Saturday and allowed me to get someone to a wedding in time because I was stuck in the parking lot with the shifter flopping around suddenly thank you so much!
Just happened at a client's house. Saw your video and zip tied it back on and had my wife follow me to autoparts store. Saved me from having to get it towed. Thank you for your video!!!
Thank you so much for making this video, my suburban had this problem yesterday. I was planning on taking it in but followed your video instructions and sure enough it was the bushing that came off. Went to Autozone and found the same part kit and now it is fixed. Thank you for saving me a ton of money on repairs, I hope you life is blessed!
Dude you have no idea the stress I was going through in this mid August heat in Phoenix while dealing with this same issue on my 2014 Chevy Tahoe. You’re such a life saver. Your video saved me so much time and I bet A lot of money as well. Thank you for what you do brother.
Hey man, I know it's thankless and I know it's a real pain in the ass to do stuff and operate the camera, so let me take a moment to say thank you for helping people out just because you're a decent human being. I wish I could buy you a beer.
Your video saved us at 9 pm at night from 2 people missing work because the truck was blocking my jeep. We both would've missed work or been late Monday morning. Thank you sooo much 😊
Another saved day!!! Jumped in the truck this morning, put it into reverse, while backing out something felt funny with the shifter when i tried to put it into drive, and there i was stuck with my 5 yr old son. Found your video, and 15 minutes we were on our way. He made his field trip at summer camp, and I made my 9am pre construction meeting. Saved the day, brother. Thank you.
Thank you so much for posting this!! Total life saver (and money saver)!!! Left work after my car had been sitting for 8 hours and it wouldn’t shift into gear… thought something major was wrong until I searched and found your video. Went to O’rileys and purchased the part for $13. Again, thank you so much!!
Thanks a bunch for this! I was literally stuck at a Walmart parking lot hoping for an easy fix and not having to pay for a tow truck. Was stuck in reverse, hopped underneath the truck and popped it back in place. Just got the part and will fix it myself!
Thank you for this video! My family was stranded two hours from home at a gas station pump in our suburban pulling a camper. Hubby was trying to get a tow truck on a Sunday when I found your video. Phew! Could have been an awful day. 🙏🏻
Wow, this saved my daughter from a big problem! She backed out of a drive in the middle of the street when this very problem occurred! Her sister’s BF with the power of this video, was able to temporarily zip tie the cable unto the stud.. will get kit for the fix tomorrow! Thank you! 🎉❤
Dude, you're a life saver. You just save me towing, time, and maybe running into a shady mechanic . I was able to tie the bar with my daughter hair tie and got it back to ths house, and I bought the part you recommend fixing it when it cools down . Thank you
Saved my back side, I didn't panick but I was close, had a shedule to keep, fixed in 30 seconds and away I went, grabbed a bushing on the way! Thank you for the short and sweet vid
Thank you bro God Bless. I have a friend who has autism & his 80 year old fathers truck broke down & lets say i wouldn't have been able to do it without your help. Thank you for teaching me how to help these people more in life. Im grateful.
I am so thankful I found your video brother! Same thing happened to me as I was backing out of my driveway and it would shift into drive while I was in the middle of the street blessing brother!
Awesome video. When my wife came and got me to “can you look at my car” because it doesn’t shift. It did the exact same thing as your video. Our bushing wasn’t broken but had popped off. Put it back on and we were back in business. Ordering a new cable to replace it. Thanks again!
I can't thank you enough for posting this video, it saved me big time yesterday!!!!!! I parked my Tahoe in an underground parking garage in downtown LA (70 miles from my house) and when I was leaving at the end of the day the gear shift was like a limp noodle. Everything you described was spot on and I was able to repair it well enough to get me home. You are the man!!!!! Thanks for taking the time to post this video and for ultimately saving me a really bad (and expensive) day.
Just drove to the cottage and went to move the truck and the thing broke. I quickly went to RUclips and found your video. Thanks! This was a very useful video!
Literally just found this video due to my truck randomly breaking down. We’ve had issues with the truck starting and believe we just found the source, thank you!!
Add me to the list of folks thankful that you took the time to make this vid. It's the first thing that popped up in my search and an hour later we're on the road again.
Dude you honestly saved my dad from a mental break down a truck we're taking to my brother done south just had that happen and he's been trying to fix another truck and overall stressful day but this was the edge for him luckily I found your video and seen the issue told my dad and you honestly saved him from a mental break down thank you so much for this knowledge
Thanks for making this video. I had the same issue happen to my 2011 silverado out of the blue. Wouldn't crank, wouldn't start, and gear shift lever is loose and shows "R" on instrument panel. I couldn't pull any ODBII code. I was stuck! Then I spotted your video. It was perfect. After watching, I slid under the vehicle and there was the loose cable end at the transmission exactly as you had shown it. You saved me HOURS of work trying things. I really really appreciate your efforts! Thanks so very very much!!!
Thanks for the video. Mine broke while putting it into park in a Home Depot parking lot. Luckily, I was able to call my mother for a ride to the car parts store. Picked up the same Dorman package and a pair of needle nose pliers. 5 minutes later I was back up and running, thanks to this video!
This video was a life saver, I feared the worst. Luckily, my truck broke 3 houses away from home. I was able to find the part and fix it. Great Video. Worst part was trying to press in the plastic bushing.
Thank you for the taking the time to do this video! This happened to me yesterday in the mall parking lot, i was about to call a tow truck when i found your video on you tube. Was able to fix the problem right away. You saved me money and i was able to get back home safely. Thank you again.
This video saved my butt at a gas station. My son put it back on and it got me home. FABULOUS video and luckily the first one that pulled up when I searched my cars symptoms!
This video saved the day for me too! A nice guy stopped with his family, found this video! All I had was some garden twine so he temporarily tied it on and I’m home safe! Tomorrow will have to find the bushing and fix it properly!
I am stuck in a parking lot right now in our GM truck. June in Phoenix. 😵💫 Thankfully the engine and AC run! Husband is on his way to rescue us and I sent this video. If this is the problem it should save us a ton of time!
Man, thank you so much for this video! This just happened and I thought it was gonna cost a fortune to fix which it probably would have if I would’ve taken it to a mechanic!
Very helpful. Saved me. I was stranded out of town with exact same problem. Got the 14041 clips. Smallest one was the best fit just like you said. Thank you so much. Only thing I had to do different was cut off extra plastic. Flat side is towards the tranny. And then snap a C clip into the groove of the peg. Works like a champ. Thanks again
Perfect video at the perfect time. My wife and I just came out of the store and found ourselves stuck with this exact problem. Lucky for us, your video was easy to follow and right to the point. Also, there was an auto parts store in the shopping center we were at that had the exact Dorman part you identified. Many thanks! I’d give you a 2nd thumbs up if I could.
Excellent! Mind came off once I was leaving Walmart. Luckily, I was only a mile from home, had my GMC truck towed home, followed your instructions the next day, back up and running 😂 Thank you so much!
Bro! You have a new subscriber, i effin love you!!!!!!! You just saved me, just got off work, its friday night and i live 1 1/2 hour from work… you just saved me my man!!!!! Thank you for your video!!!
Same thing happened to me when all the parts stores were closed, I saw your video and simply connected it back. I didn’t have the plastic part but thankfully I was down the street from the house, and I just connected it on and it went into gear. I will get that part in the morning. Thanks.
Same issue on my 2012 2500. Thankfully was in neutral so I got towed home across my small town. Before I checked RUclips I took the dash apart…oh well. No biggie. I was excited to find things under my truck just as you showed - excited because that meant the problem was diagnosed and solution straight forward! Thank you.
Thank you for this video friend! My Suburban did the same thing. After a better key word search, I found your video! I was able to find the cable within seconds and saw that bushing had broken. I went and got the part and had it fixed within 10 min. I was deflated thinking o was going to spend thousands of dollars to fix. $30 later for the part and a C-clamp, and I was running like a charm. Thank you so much!
May of 2024, you are awesome, was waiting for a tow and decided to look into the shifter and came across your video, had to ask for help as it was unsafe to put it on drive, about to drive home and get it fix. Thanks
God bless. Literally just pulled up to a customers house in my work truck, shifter came loose. Watched the video and was able to drive it back to the shop lol
Thank you for sharing!!! We were stranded in a hotel parking lot when ours came undone and lucky enough to be across the street from a parts store and was able to get the parts and with the helpp.of some other guests got it fixed!!
Video definitely saved my ass. I was leaving the gym when all of a sudden this happened to me. First video I looked up on RUclips and fixed my ride before having someone come get me. Thanks!
This just happen to me about an hour ago, in a drive though, yah. Looked on UTUBE on what to do and your video popped up. Crawled under the truck and hooked it back up and went home. Couldn't put it back in park, just shut it off and put the break on, home sweet home. THANKS! You just saved me MUCHO DINERO. And yes, HOT and COLD will do it, Texas here, tempt today, 26 degrees.
🎉THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!! You have no idea how much time & $ you saved me today. Stopped at the gas station this AM & when I went to start my truck the gear shift was loose & wouldn't put the truck in gear. Your video got me to Advanced Auto & work. I sincerely thank you!!!!
Yo! Thank you! Very helpful! Luckily I just pulled into my driveway, was stuck in neutral.. put the cable back on to put it in park and going to pick up bushing right now. Life saver! Thanks again man!
Thanks so much for uploading this video. I was at a gas station. Tried to put my 09 Tahoe into drive and it got stuck in reverse. Got under the car and bingo. I saw the problem immediately. A couple of notes for others.. -You will be able to see this problem on the driver side. -If the gear is engaged (like mine was in reverse), then you will have to manually push the lever into park to get the cable reattached. I suggest putting the emergency brake on to be more cautious. Thanks again for posting! God bless!
Just did this repair for a friend. I used a 14mm box end wrench and a vice grip instead of the clamp and socket, and it felt much easier than it appeared as shown.
This video save the day for me! It was 7:00 a.m. I stopped at the gas station to get fuel and some breakfast. I get back in my vehicle to leave and I could not shift out of park. Gear shifter had play and was not catching just like yours. I googled the problem in this video came up. I then got under my truck and that's exactly what the problem was. I was able to slide it back on the transmission and at least get it to go in drive until I got to the auto parts store. 🤘😎🤘
Thank you sir... I just spent a lot of money on a DOD delete. 2 weeks later this happened and you saved me from having to put my truck back in the shop
I’m gonna repeat what someone else said, this video also saved me from what I thought was going to be a bad day! Randomly my truck just wouldn’t go into park when I pulled into my spot at work and kept trying to go forward so I set the emergency brake and looked under to find the linkage had fallen off.
Just had this happen to me went to park at my house and only got to reverse, was able to get a ride to the o'rileys near me and got it taken care of in less than a half hour, thank you so much for the video!
Dude I can't tell you how much of relief this video was! I was sure I was out $$$$ but this is exactly what happened. Heart attack and auto shop ripoff averted!
Bro literally just saved my life at work I watched this and got home and went to auto zone the next day and fixed it in 10 mins thanks man your a true lifesaver and yes I live in Ohio 😂
Legit at midnight I got up to go to the store and get the baby some milk and bam the gear shifter is free floating won’t engage the gears….. fearing the worst and some expletives later, my daughter does some googling and finds your video. I roll under the truck and just like your video it’s just dangling there, low and left 😏. Thankfully she had the frame of mind to process and look for a solution. All I gotta do now is wait 6 more hours for the parts store to open up and apply what you show in the video…. Hope it works. Thank you for being the solid dude you are and providing this information. God bless brother.
With all the financial uncertainty in today's economy, this saved me hundreds of dollars. I went to take my kid to school, and this happened to me. After a quick google search, I found this video. Off to Auto Zone I went to buy the exact part you mentioned. It was a little challenging to get the bushing into the cable housing, even though I used the C-Clamp and definitely tough getting the cable onto the transmission peg, I ended up using some vice grip pliers to help get the bushing onto the peg because it's gives you a lot more pressure. I sent $12 when it could have cost me several times over that. Thank you!!!
huge shout out to you !!! first thought was the dash then saw this so i check n previous owner held it up with zip ties , it wasn’t even connected , 5 min fix 🙏🙏
You just saved me!!! I was stuck inside a car wash when this happened to me and 33 weeks pregnant. I managed to shimmy myself under the vehicle and the very kind car wash attendant was able to get the cable reconnected and me out of the wash. I’m safely at home now and have a fun project for my husband when he gets home.
THANK YOU SO MUCH !! You’ve got my subscription and my husband owes you! ❤️
Wow! That’s amazing! Kudos to you for being so resilient and adapting to the situation!!
This video saved what could have been a bad day!! Mine broke while shifting back to park in a Staples parking lot, it only got to reverse and was stuck there. Watched your video and walked the 3 blocks to/from the Autozone. THANKS!
Awesome Dennis! That was my hope when I made this video. Responses like this make it worth it.
Mine was at target in reverse as well. Watched this while there got underneath, put it in park, started it back up, drove home and took my fiance's car to oreilys. Now I'm back rolling. Thanks for the video man. Epic save
Awesome! Great to hear stories like this.

Thank you so much! Im a 19 year women that doesn't know nothing about trucks, but your video saved me from being stranded! 🙌🏻
Way to go Jade! Got it done!
Thank you! I didn't have channel locks to push the bushing on, so I used vice grips and the closed side of a 9/16 wrench. Wrench on the outside, squeeze it on with the vice grips, and then work the wrench back and forth to get the bushing to pop on. Appreciate it, sir!
Nice work! Is this Derek from Vice Grip Garage?!? 😂

No problem man! Love hearing these stories.
Saved my back side, I didn't panick but I was close, had a shedule to keep, fixed in 30 seconds and away I went, grabbed a bushing on the way!
Thank you for the short and sweet vid
Good deal Rob! Glad it was helpful
Thank you bro God Bless.
I have a friend who has autism & his 80 year old fathers truck broke down & lets say i wouldn't have been able to do it without your help. Thank you for teaching me how to help these people more in life. Im grateful.
Very cool man! Keep making a positive impact!
@PoplarRidge that's all you man. God works through people and j strongly believe you're one of them. Thanks again.
Thanks, you just saved me from being stranded, i used a zip tie to keep the cable and the conector together so i was able to make it home, thank you
Glad I could help
I am so thankful I found your video brother! Same thing happened to me as I was backing out of my driveway and it would shift into drive while I was in the middle of the street blessing brother!
Awesome man! Glad it was helpful to you!
Awesome video. When my wife came and got me to “can you look at my car” because it doesn’t shift. It did the exact same thing as your video. Our bushing wasn’t broken but had popped off. Put it back on and we were back in business. Ordering a new cable to replace it. Thanks again!
Thanks for sharing!
Not all RUclipsrs wear capes, but you did with this one Bro💪💪💪🙏
I appreciate that!
I was driving the company van today and as I was leaving it did this to me. I was worried I blew the transmission! Your a life saver
Glad I could save you from being fired! 😂 You should ask for a raise for identifying the problem for them.
I can't thank you enough for posting this video, it saved me big time yesterday!!!!!! I parked my Tahoe in an underground parking garage in downtown LA (70 miles from my house) and when I was leaving at the end of the day the gear shift was like a limp noodle. Everything you described was spot on and I was able to repair it well enough to get me home. You are the man!!!!! Thanks for taking the time to post this video and for ultimately saving me a really bad (and expensive) day.
Awesome! I was in quite a different predicament than you but glad this got you the result you needed!
Just drove to the cottage and went to move the truck and the thing broke. I quickly went to RUclips and found your video.
Thanks! This was a very useful video!
Great to hear!
Literally just found this video due to my truck randomly breaking down. We’ve had issues with the truck starting and believe we just found the source, thank you!!
Great to hear!
Add me to the list of folks thankful that you took the time to make this vid. It's the first thing that popped up in my search and an hour later we're on the road again.
Hey man - that’s awesome! Glad you’re up and running again.
Dude you honestly saved my dad from a mental break down a truck we're taking to my brother done south just had that happen and he's been trying to fix another truck and overall stressful day but this was the edge for him luckily I found your video and seen the issue told my dad and you honestly saved him from a mental break down thank you so much for this knowledge
Wow! Man so glad I could help out.
Thanks for making this video. I had the same issue happen to my 2011 silverado out of the blue. Wouldn't crank, wouldn't start, and gear shift lever is loose and shows "R" on instrument panel. I couldn't pull any ODBII code. I was stuck! Then I spotted your video. It was perfect. After watching, I slid under the vehicle and there was the loose cable end at the transmission exactly as you had shown it. You saved me HOURS of work trying things. I really really appreciate your efforts! Thanks so very very much!!!
Fantastic! Glad my fix helped you out!
Thanks for the video. Mine broke while putting it into park in a Home Depot parking lot. Luckily, I was able to call my mother for a ride to the car parts store. Picked up the same Dorman package and a pair of needle nose pliers. 5 minutes later I was back up and running, thanks to this video!
Glad I could help!
This video was a life saver, I feared the worst. Luckily, my truck broke 3 houses away from home. I was able to find the part and fix it. Great Video. Worst part was trying to press in the plastic bushing.
Awesome Mike! Glad I could help.
Thank you so much for making this video! We were stranded last night, but my husband was able to get us home after watching.
Awesome! Stories like this one are exactly why I made this video!
Thank you for the taking the time to do this video! This happened to me yesterday in the mall parking lot, i was about to call a tow truck when i found your video on you tube. Was able to fix the problem right away. You saved me money and i was able to get back home safely. Thank you again.
That’s great! Big relief to know the problem and get it fixed without extra expense
You saved my ass! I was stranded with 3 kids when this happened to me. Thank you!
Great! Glad you were able to demonstrate to your kids how to be resilient! God bless you and all parents just trying to do their best!
This video saved my butt at a gas station. My son put it back on and it got me home. FABULOUS video and luckily the first one that pulled up when I searched my cars symptoms!
Wow awesome! Glad this helped you out of a jam! Really appreciate the “super thanks”!
This video saved the day for me too! A nice guy stopped with his family, found this video! All I had was some garden twine so he temporarily tied it on and I’m home safe! Tomorrow will have to find the bushing and fix it properly!
That is awesome! Glad there are still people like that in this world!
I am stuck in a parking lot right now in our GM truck. June in Phoenix. 😵💫 Thankfully the engine and AC run! Husband is on his way to rescue us and I sent this video. If this is the problem it should save us a ton of time!
Good luck! Hope it worked out.
Thanks man! I had to get my truck towed home. I did watch that video where the guy shaves it off but thankfully I came across your video.
Glad it was useful for you P4P!
Thank you sir!
Helped me this morning get to work!
God bless y’all!
Great to hear! Keep grinding
Man, thank you so much for this video! This just happened and I thought it was gonna cost a fortune to fix which it probably would have if I would’ve taken it to a mechanic!
Awesome! Glad it helped you save some money Eddie
Thank you so much! Thought I had major tow and transmission work coming.
You solved the problem in 3 minutes! I’m a subscriber for life.
Hey Jamie! That is awesome. Glad I could help ease the burden of what seemed to be a big problem!
Very helpful. Saved me. I was stranded out of town with exact same problem. Got the 14041 clips. Smallest one was the best fit just like you said. Thank you so much. Only thing I had to do different was cut off extra plastic. Flat side is towards the tranny. And then snap a C clip into the groove of the peg. Works like a champ. Thanks again
Excellent. I’m glad Ken!
Perfect video at the perfect time. My wife and I just came out of the store and found ourselves stuck with this exact problem. Lucky for us, your video was easy to follow and right to the point. Also, there was an auto parts store in the shopping center we were at that had the exact Dorman part you identified. Many thanks! I’d give you a 2nd thumbs up if I could.
Fantastic! Nice to have the parts store right there!
Excellent! Mind came off once I was leaving Walmart. Luckily, I was only a mile from home, had my GMC truck towed home, followed your instructions the next day, back up and running 😂 Thank you so much!
Good stuff!
THANK YOU! Went to drive home from work and the damn thing broke! pulled up your video, ran to the parts store, Bada Bing Bada Boom Trucks Mint 🤘🤘
Glad to hear it!
Bro! You have a new subscriber, i effin love you!!!!!!! You just saved me, just got off work, its friday night and i live 1 1/2 hour from work… you just saved me my man!!!!! Thank you for your video!!!
Glad you made it home! Keep working hard
Thank you so much for making this video. Seriously though, the fact that this is an actual thing that can happen blows my mind.
When it happened to me I was a little surprised myself!
Same thing happened to me when all the parts stores were closed, I saw your video and simply connected it back. I didn’t have the plastic part but thankfully I was down the street from the house, and I just connected it on and it went into gear. I will get that part in the morning. Thanks.
Glad you made it safely
Same issue on my 2012 2500. Thankfully was in neutral so I got towed home across my small town. Before I checked RUclips I took the dash apart…oh well. No biggie. I was excited to find things under my truck just as you showed - excited because that meant the problem was diagnosed and solution straight forward! Thank you.
You’re welcome. I’m a certified RUclips mechanic - meaning I’ve learned to always check there first! LOL
This video saved my friend a lot of money and aggravation. Thank you so much
Hey glad to hear that!
Thank you for this video friend! My Suburban did the same thing. After a better key word search, I found your video! I was able to find the cable within seconds and saw that bushing had broken. I went and got the part and had it fixed within 10 min. I was deflated thinking o was going to spend thousands of dollars to fix. $30 later for the part and a C-clamp, and I was running like a charm. Thank you so much!
Excellent!
May of 2024, you are awesome, was waiting for a tow and decided to look into the shifter and came across your video, had to ask for help as it was unsafe to put it on drive, about to drive home and get it fix.
Thanks
Glad this helped you out!
God bless. Literally just pulled up to a customers house in my work truck, shifter came loose. Watched the video and was able to drive it back to the shop lol
Awesome - glad this helped out
Nice job. I owe you a beer if I ever see you in person. Happened today on my 2013 sierra denali. This is an example of the good side of the internet.
Right on! Thanks for the kind comment.
Thank you for this. Saved our ass when a coworkers truck was stuck at a gas station.
Glad it helped you guys out!
Thank you for sharing!!! We were stranded in a hotel parking lot when ours came undone and lucky enough to be across the street from a parts store and was able to get the parts and with the helpp.of some other guests got it fixed!!
That’s awesome! Glad you were in a safe place with easy access to the parts!
Video definitely saved my ass. I was leaving the gym when all of a sudden this happened to me. First video I looked up on RUclips and fixed my ride before having someone come get me. Thanks!
Awesome! Keeping you and your truck healthy
This just happen to me about an hour ago, in a drive though, yah. Looked on UTUBE on what to do and your video popped up. Crawled under the truck and hooked it back up and went home.
Couldn't put it back in park, just shut it off and put the break on, home sweet home. THANKS! You just saved me MUCHO DINERO. And yes, HOT and COLD will do it, Texas here, tempt today, 26 degrees.
Hey man! Glad I could help you out!
Man you are a life saver! Thanks for the tip. Now I can fix my wife's suburban before she gets home!
Glad to help
🎉THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!! You have no idea how much time & $ you saved me today. Stopped at the gas station this AM & when I went to start my truck the gear shift was loose & wouldn't put the truck in gear. Your video got me to Advanced Auto & work. I sincerely thank you!!!!
Glad I could help!
Yo! Thank you! Very helpful! Luckily I just pulled into my driveway, was stuck in neutral.. put the cable back on to put it in park and going to pick up bushing right now. Life saver! Thanks again man!
No problem 👍
I appreciate you! You saved me today! Big thank you from Houston Tx.
You’re welcome! I’m a native Texan myself. Glad your truck is fixed.
Thanks so much for uploading this video. I was at a gas station. Tried to put my 09 Tahoe into drive and it got stuck in reverse. Got under the car and bingo. I saw the problem immediately. A couple of notes for others..
-You will be able to see this problem on the driver side.
-If the gear is engaged (like mine was in reverse), then you will have to manually push the lever into park to get the cable reattached. I suggest putting the emergency brake on to be more cautious.
Thanks again for posting! God bless!
All good advice Shane! Thanks for watching and sharing your experience.
Just did this repair for a friend. I used a 14mm box end wrench and a vice grip instead of the clamp and socket, and it felt much easier than it appeared as shown.
Glad it worked out well!
My man, you’re the best! This just happened to me at work as I was trying to go home. You showed me exactly how to fix it. Thank you so so much!
Hey Capn! Glad you got it taken care of! Love your cereal since I was a kid!
This video save the day for me! It was 7:00 a.m. I stopped at the gas station to get fuel and some breakfast. I get back in my vehicle to leave and I could not shift out of park. Gear shifter had play and was not catching just like yours. I googled the problem in this video came up. I then got under my truck and that's exactly what the problem was. I was able to slide it back on the transmission and at least get it to go in drive until I got to the auto parts store. 🤘😎🤘
Awesome Mike!
There are no words that could possibly express my absolute thanks to you! You are amazing!!! THANK YOU!!
You're very welcome!
Thank you for the video, got stuck and had no idea what to do. Fixed mine temporarily with a zip tie. Thanks again!
Glad it helped!
Thank you sir... I just spent a lot of money on a DOD delete. 2 weeks later this happened and you saved me from having to put my truck back in the shop
Very welcome!
Thank you for this video m. You helped me from being stranded. God Bless you and yours.
Fantastic- glad you’re able to keep on driving.
you got a calming ass voice bro. This shit just happened in my driveway and I was a lil pissed and now im chill.
LOL - glad I could help bring some calm to the storm.
Thank you. Had the same problem in a metered spot. Having the exact part number and the install hints saved the day.
Excellent!
I’m gonna repeat what someone else said, this video also saved me from what I thought was going to be a bad day! Randomly my truck just wouldn’t go into park when I pulled into my spot at work and kept trying to go forward so I set the emergency brake and looked under to find the linkage had fallen off.
Glad it worked out for you!
Just had this happen to me went to park at my house and only got to reverse, was able to get a ride to the o'rileys near me and got it taken care of in less than a half hour, thank you so much for the video!
Oh wow! Glad this helped you out of a jam!
Man Glad I found you you just saved me a $200 tow bill and who knows what the mechanic would charge.
Glad you got it figured out Jeffrey!
This video just saved the day and so much $$ for me. Thank you for putting this out there!!
Great to hear!
This excellent video saved me some serious downtime with my work truck and a lot of cash. Thank you!!!
Great to hear!
Dude I can't tell you how much of relief this video was! I was sure I was out $$$$ but this is exactly what happened. Heart attack and auto shop ripoff averted!
I know the feeling!
Bro literally just saved my life at work I watched this and got home and went to auto zone the next day and fixed it in 10 mins thanks man your a true lifesaver and yes I live in Ohio 😂
Nice work!
Your a life saver went straight to the point and described the problem 💯% very easy to understand and fo yourself thank God for your video
Great! Glad this was helpful!
Legit at midnight I got up to go to the store and get the baby some milk and bam the gear shifter is free floating won’t engage the gears….. fearing the worst and some expletives later, my daughter does some googling and finds your video. I roll under the truck and just like your video it’s just dangling there, low and left 😏.
Thankfully she had the frame of mind to process and look for a solution. All I gotta do now is wait 6 more hours for the parts store to open up and apply what you show in the video…. Hope it works. Thank you for being the solid dude you are and providing this information. God bless brother.
Glad I could be of help. Congrats on raising a smart daughter! Take care of those babies it’s an important job
@@PoplarRidge off to the parts store, I’ll update when it’s done
All done. Thank you! $12 dollars and some change. Saved me a tow bill, mechanic finders fee and $arm and leg labor charges.
Plus you got the satisfaction of figuring it out and fixing it for yourself! Way to go!
You just saved me so much time diagnosing my problem. Thank you!!
Great to hear! You’re welcome.
I have a Colorado so mine wasn’t exactly the same but this did help me diagnose and get my truck going thank you!
Glad it helped anyway
With all the financial uncertainty in today's economy, this saved me hundreds of dollars. I went to take my kid to school, and this happened to me. After a quick google search, I found this video. Off to Auto Zone I went to buy the exact part you mentioned. It was a little challenging to get the bushing into the cable housing, even though I used the C-Clamp and definitely tough getting the cable onto the transmission peg, I ended up using some vice grip pliers to help get the bushing onto the peg because it's gives you a lot more pressure. I sent $12 when it could have cost me several times over that. Thank you!!!
You are certainly welcome! Glad this helped you.
huge shout out to you !!! first thought was the dash then saw this so i check n previous owner held it up with zip ties , it wasn’t even connected , 5 min fix 🙏🙏
Oh wow! That’s crazy. Glad it’s fixed right.
Thanks dude! This was super helpful my wife was stranded and this got her back in the road👍
Great Jameson! Glad you got her fixed up.
