Hey I have an 06 trailblazer and my shifter is stuck in drive, I can push that button to move the shifter, so do I have to put the shifter back at the drive position when I'm doing this?? Please help I'm working on fixing this now
@@SilverBillyStacks if the indicator on the cluster is showing "D" then moving the shifter to the same position will be necessary to get the cable end to line up with the lever on the transmission. Before getting underneath the vehicle you will need to make sure the vehicle wont be able to roll and possibly cause severe injury.
@@SilverBillyStacks Mine was in the drive Position too but I just put into park and it lined up and it's on there so tight right now I could not be happier!!!! I even went back and forth with a few times and checked it was all good!!!!
😂 UNBELIEVABLE !!! BOTH MY GMC ENVOYS shift cable bushings broke . About 1 year apart . BOTH in our driveway tho thank god. But yes thank you for this video because I was able to fix it for $12 and 5 minutes. First one I was out of town and my wife had towed to a shop and they said after looking at it that it was the transmission shifting solenoids that needed replacing and it would cost her $ 485. I told her get it back home I’ll look at it . Well I find your video researching and I fixed it. 😄😄 and not just once but twice !! Once on each vehicle … thank you my friend you save my wife being home alone ( I’m military ) from being taken for total nearly what could have been a thousand dollars. Glad I made it home and was able to find you and do it myself …
Just wanted to say thank you for the video! I was by myself with 4 kids in a Rite Aid parking lot about a half mile from a parts store when this exact problem happened! I found your video, watched, went to the parts store, came back and fixed my car no tools needed!! Thank you for saving me a tow bill and an expensive replacement part for no reason!
my husband used the bushing kit containing the 2 orange bushings, however he accidently put the bigger bushing in backwards but it still locked in place. Will this be a problem possibly at a later time even though he heard and felt it lock into place. Your feedback will definately be appreciated. Being half-blind near dark caused my mistake. ( That's my story and I'm sticking to it....lmao
your Awesome Paige, your the one who did it! im so glad to hear you got it! My Username on SnapChat is Whosname if you ever need any help with anything!
Everyone else is thanking you… so I might as well join them… now I can remove the usb cable I tied around both arms to get me home to Florida from North Carolina.. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👌🏽👌🏽✌🏾✌🏾😅
Last night after Bible study at my beloved CCSOLA I went to put gas in my truck for work the next day, my Chevy gear shift wouldnt catch. It was 10pm at night I had been up since 4am work all day just for this to happen. I had to have it towed home then caught the bus to work (stood all the way there because the MTA is now a crash pad for the homeless) got home mechanic online said maybe cost me 300 dollars to fix. So me being me went on RUclips found James Bradley and his Oreo cookies with this video. I did it myself thanks to you I saved myself a couple of hundred. THANKS THANKS THANKS!!!!!!!!
Thanks for this, James. You might want to tell folks who are repairing Trailblazers and Envoys that Dorman part # 14057 has instructions that state the orange parts are for a Ford and the clear parts are for a GM. I tried for half a day to use the clear part on my Trailblazer. Dorman depicts using a c-clamp and a 9/16 socket to press the clear grommet into the cable. Not possible without removing the cable from the vehicle. Hopefully the Ford part on the GM will work and last.
Thank you, James! My family and I came home from vacation and pulled in front of my house to bring my wheelchair-bound mother-in-law into the house. When I came back outside, my 03 Envoy wouldn't come out of park. I looked under my truck and saw what was exactly in your video. Took me 10 mins. YOU DA MAN!
Yoo I done watch countless videos and nobody even came close to explaining it how you did no one told me to look under the car to see if that piece was sticking out THANK YOU 🙏🏾 💫
Thanks James, you saved me a lot of money and more importantly time and grief. I had just pulled into my driveway and went to shift into park, but the shifter felt soft, and the indicator stayed on Drive. I have a slanted driveway, and the only way for me to keep it from rolling was to apply the E-brake and chock the wheels while I tried to find a fix. Your video told me exactly what I needed to know, and showed me exactly what I needed to do, including the part number which made things very easy. Wish I had found this BEFORE I started taking the whole center console out to figure out what was wrong with the shifter. Thanks again!
I literally just bought my 2009 2500 HD Sierra last weekend. Went in to grab some food and the shift cable was loose. Got under the truck put it back on got it the few blocks home and it fell off again. A quick trip to Crappy Tire on Sunday minutes before close and about 15 min later with my Leatherman Had the problem solved. Thank You so much.
I checked this on my car and when I pushed the broken part back together, the car went into gear! So tomorrow I'm off to the autopart store to get the part and hopefully I can put it on myself or get a neighbor to do it. Great help. Save me so much $$$$
You are the best! Thank you so much for this video. Mine broke while out of state 4 hours away. I connected it watching this video to get into gear and drove straight home. Replaced the bushing in less than 5 minutes. Can’t thank you enough
thanks, i did this but when i looked at the instructions they were saying something totally different. your video helped me confirm that i did this right.
Hi James , I have the same problem with my 2008 Envoy as well, I watched your video and went out to my local Advance Auto Parts store and found the Dorman 14057 bushings and also an O.E.M. ACDelco automatic shift cable for 2002 - 2008 GMC Envoy's .I really appreciate you making this video because you saved me about $458.00 !!! , that's what the dealership was gone to charge me for that repair . Thank you very much !
God bless you. And God bless all the mechanics and hard workers like you with honesty and true hearts and their bodies and Minds. God will bless you with so much abundance you're going to go crazy. Thanks for the all the information
My mom & I just watched this to see if we could this ourselves (although I don't know it's the bushing or if the cable snapped) but we both just fell in love with you! You're awesome!
My '02 Trailblazer shift bushing broke the other day. Luckily I had just returned home when it broke so I wasn't stranded. Thank you James for the excellent video and keep up the good work sir!
Thank you for the instructions! I just finished fixing my 2005 Trailblazer. Part was $15 (Autozone) and total time to install with jacking up the car was about 20 minutes.
"I did it! I did it!" Thank you so much. I woke up trying to figure out how I was going to make it to work and take my little girls to their summer programs. You're a God send. I mean it. :)
Wow! Thank you so much for this video! Lifesaver! I'm automotively illiterate and was able to fix it . My only concern is how loose it seems to fit but you talk about that in the video. Thanks again!
Mr. James Bradley, Thank you so much for this video, as you saved me spending way to much at a garage. Part was only 15.00, and solved the problem! I am thankful to you and to you tube both for the easy solution! I hope your business is still growing!
Thank you for this man. I was broke down in a parking lot last night, and because of your video I was able to identify my problem, fix it with duct tape enough to get it in gear & get home. And with you sharing this bushing, I was able to fix it without spending a bunch of money that I didn’t have. Thank you so much for making this video.
My license was suspended for 10-years. The day after I got my license (not to mention how happy EVERYONE in my life was) I bought a cash truck. It just so happen to be a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer and I rode around taking care of business all day. When it was time to go to work this happened. Thank goodness for RUclips... I left the truck and came back in the middle of the night after work. Thanks for the video, brother... This all happened yesterday (the same day I dropped thousands on a truck that broke down the same day after being without a license for years).
Thank you so much man!!! You saved me and my family so much money! My car did this after we picked our daughter up from school. Called the tow truck and he went under and connected it so we could drive it home then I saw your video went to the parts store and replaced it myself in 3 minutes. You don’t know how helpful your video was man! Thank you again!!!
Thanks so much for this information video It took 10 minutes to repair Lucky it happened in my garage and not at my local Walgreens I tore apart my center console thinking it was the switch on the shifter Replacing the whole cable would have been a major undertaking
thank you SOOO much, this saved my college student son, so much money and it was our 1st father n son car project since he bought his 04 trailblazer last month, and I made him do it as I coached haha.. The joker that sold this car to us, had a coathanger wrapped around it, can you believe it? In any case bless you. The orange $7 part is a God send. Youre the auto angel bro!
You legitimately took the feelings out my body. This cheep fix I was able to do instead of call a tow and a mechanic got me feeling like I can swap out engines lol.
Excellent. My 2006 Envoy just laid down with this issue - gear shift column in P and dashboard in N. Great. Hope this fixes the issue. Should prolly send Oreos…
Hey James! thanks for the input. I had the exact same situation on my Chevy Trailblazer and I just fixed it about an hour ago and it took all of 20 minutes. I appreciate the info!
Thanks for the info, it is spot on....my 2004 Envoy popped the bushing today at the post office and luckily I have a "guy" who knows this stuff and is taking care of it for me. You can pull your instrument cluster and send it to My Airbags Electronics repair shop in Buford, Georgia and they will rebuild your broken fuel gauge very reasonably as well as the other gauges if they are broken. I'll bet the dealer told you the sending unit in the gas tank needed replacing at the tune of around $800. But is the circuit board on the guage itself.
Thank you for this. I just got home from work at 3:30 am and as I was putting my envoy on Parking it broke off in Neutral. So right I had to put a spare in the front and a spare on the rear to hold it down. Until the morning that I can go to the parts store and do this fix you just showed me. Thanks again.
Absolutely great helpful video. I put my car into my tiny garage and shifted to park but it stayed in drive. Cannot tow car out of that garage due to height and car being in gear. Before I even tried I found this video. Went to Napa auto parts here in Canada gave them the part number and brand, they had their own generic brand but same thing and it worked perfectly. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you James for you just assured me l didn’t have to replace my hold shift cable on my 2004 Cadillac Escalade.you the man,PS WORKING MAN HAVE A BEAUTIFUL AND BLESSED HOLIDAY WEEKEN
Thanks, The Chevy dealer had the wife's car for a week and hadn't even looked at it yet. Went online to research the problem and found your video, the symptoms matched. Went down to Chevy dealer on the pretext of retrieving some items from the car. On the back-lot I shimmied underneath and saw this exact problem. I took a couple zip ties to temporarily hold it together to start it and drive it home. A trip to the auto-parts store and $15 later the Trailblazer runs and drives.
I love hearing that people saved money and got it done themselves! It would help me out a bunch if you hit the like a subscribe button, really pushing to get to the 1000 subs mark. Ive got plenty of content coming up!
I’m stuck at a gas station right now cuz this happened to me. This was super helpful!! Thank you! Update - was able to fix my car with your help you are awesome!!!
Yes! I was about 5 minutes away from an auto zone and it was OPEN! My dad was able to get to me so I could go and grab it. He was able to get it on for me and then I was good to go! Had it not been for your video I wouldn’t have known what was wrong or how to fix it and prob paid hundreds to a mechanic. You’re awesome!
James, you rock! You save me so much time and money! Worked like a charm for only $15. Barely got my hands dirty , Just tell me where to send the Oreos!
Great description, had the problem yesterday and thought it might require a tow truck and a mechanic. After seeing this video, went and got the 14057 Help! at Auto Zone, got to the truck and Voila!, fixed in 5 minutes. Appreciate your help.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! So glad I watched your video, saved us from getting ripped off at the mechanic. You're awesome for sharing this video!
Men like you are what makes RUclips great. Thanks for this, man... know that feeling in your gut when you think you're gonna need a whole new transmission? Eff that. You're hilarious too, by the way :-)
Thank you so much i know you hear it allot but the money your saving all of us is great!!!! You seem likea real down to earth person!!! I love Oreos too lol!!! May God Bless You And all of your family!!!
this helped... a lot of times you just need something to give you some confidence, or even more, to help you lose the "dread" of the job.. this helped with the dread. took longer to walk to the store than to do the job... Maybe it's just my 05 Trailblazer, but jacking the truck up was overkill. I'm still a little skeptical because it really seems like it is going to come off at some point while driving since it comes off so easy when handling it... but I at least know where it is now in case i have to throw it in gear by hand now.... I was going to try to order a "better" one from rockauto, but they list the same one.. they also list another one(14055), a clear one... which looks like the clear one that comes in the 14057 set... Which makes me wonder because the instructions in the 14057 say the clear one fits GMs... The dorman site doesn't provide much insight, it just says both numbers fit the vehicle. Have you found that the clear one doesn't work??? Either way, very good video..... thanks
The 14055 is the Original style bushing that came in the cable from factory. It can be difficult to install and i have seen several cable ends get broken trying to force it in. The two piece design of of the 14057 makes it much easier to install, but both will work.
ah... old plastic... gives under the careless pressure... yeah that probably would have been me... I still like that design better.. i may try a heat gun for a few seconds to make the shifter end a tiny bit more malleable, then pop it in... thanks.... useful info.
1, 2, 3, times wasn't a charm. Your video was #4. And the best. I thought there had to be a little more TLC to this repair. The other 3 didn't mention cleaning the connections first. I think I would have since they contact a plastic part. But I wouldn't have thought about checking the "cable support" ? Which did need a little adjustment. That saved me a bit of aggravation since it kept my shift from moving properly. All better now. Thanks. I'm now Subscribed.👍 GOTTA LOVE THEM OREOS.😋
One thing I've learned down thru the years is if you're honest with customers and try to do right by them, they will return to you when they need something else repaired. Had the same thing happen last weekend in the middle of nowhere, got it home and did the repair laying on the ground. I used part #14055 and pressed the bushing in with a pair of channel lock pliers, but the part you used is just as effective, even more simple.....
The 14055 is much more similar to the original bushing in the cable, but it can be such a tight fit to push it into the cable end ive see the cable break while pushing it in with pliers. Ive never had anything like that happen with the orange bushings, but the 14055 isnt the wrong one either. Just be careful, the cable itself is kinda a pain to install due to having to lift the carpet pad up and snake it out and back in.
I just did this yesterday afternoon. I needed one of the clear bushings from Dorman 14057 (cost me a little over $15 at O'Reillys). My AT linkage/shift lever is on the top side, luckily, though removing/replacing the airflow assembly to gain access was a bit of a bear.
It was an '02 Buick Rendezvous. I guess I have a spare clear bushing, but I think the rest of the car will completely fall apart before I need to do this fix again.
Tks the same thing happeng to me the mechanic shop wanted to change the whole cable and want $200 for it i spend less then $15 dollars andvi did it myself tks once again
Thank you thank you thank you you just saved my week with this video. I thought my transmission got broken but no, it just needed that little piece to get back to work. It was easy and cheap so thanks again bro.
Thanks a bunch for stopping by, It's great to hear about people getting their vehicles back on the road themselves for less expensive than they thought it would cost! Hit that subscribe button if i helped ya out, it helps me out a ton. Really pushing to get to 1k subscribers!
@@JBAutomotive794you bet! Just did that for you. Well thanks again dude! You have helped so many people with this issue I see. Great video, and funny too. Take care man.
I don’t have any mechanic skills either but I like saving money when I can’t afford a mechanic.. I really appreciate guys like you for helping us try to be a mechanic 😊
Bro thank you for taking your time to show us this. Looks like you had a few idiots hit the wrong button 👍 $15 and about 15-20 minutes to watch your video and repair.
Thanks so much for this video.. You just saved me a couple of bucks on a tow. I am glad I looked at RUclips before the tow truck came.. Now.. I need to know how to get my hatch back door open
Thanks for this video. Easy fix! You mentioned the cable with the bushing can still come off the ball end with some force. I noticed this as well after my install (got the audible "click", as you indicated). Should I be concerned that this could pop off while shifting? How likely is that?
As long as it clicked it shouldn't come off, run it back and forth a few times quickly and see if it withstands that. If its still on, I'd feel confident about it
To send oreos, contact me at james.aap.harvest@gmail.com

Before I even tried I found this video. Went to Napa auto parts here in Canada gave them the part number and brand, they had their own generic brand but same thing and it worked perfectly. Thank you so much!!!
That did it! Thanks dude! Same parts fits a million vehicles.
Thanks for the instruction. Fixed my 2006 Buick rainier with no problems.
Thank you James for you just assured me l didn’t have to replace my hold shift cable on my 2004 Cadillac Escalade.you the man,PS WORKING MAN HAVE A BEAUTIFUL AND BLESSED HOLIDAY WEEKEN
Thanks smart kid like you is what this country need
Thanks James, $15 for the cheap plastic part that got my 2004 Buick Rainier moving. I used the same part number.
Thanks, The Chevy dealer had the wife's car for a week and hadn't even looked at it yet. Went online to research the problem and found your video, the symptoms matched. Went down to Chevy dealer on the pretext of retrieving some items from the car. On the back-lot I shimmied underneath and saw this exact problem. I took a couple zip ties to temporarily hold it together to start it and drive it home. A trip to the auto-parts store and $15 later the Trailblazer runs and drives.
Patrick Tilley, I'm sure you saved your family hundreds of dollars!
Just want to say a big thanks too you sir 🙏 save me like $300 dollar's. This was exactly what happen to my gmc 2002 xl envoy.

Yes! I was about 5 minutes away from an auto zone and it was OPEN! My dad was able to get to me so I could go and grab it. He was able to get it on for me and then I was good to go! Had it not been for your video I wouldn’t have known what was wrong or how to fix it and prob paid hundreds to a mechanic. You’re awesome!
Thank you for the Great video ... correct fix for my 2005 GMC Envoy XUV !!!
James, you rock! You save me so much time and money! Worked like a charm for only $15. Barely got my hands dirty , Just tell me where to send the Oreos!
My '06 Trailblazer just did this. Thank you. My wife was in panic.
Very Honest Mechanic 👍🏼

You the man. 44 people must work for a dealer or themselves. Thanks!!!
Maybe they don't like oreos....
Thank you for this video. You've helped me so much. Straight to the point.
So initially I was disappointed that this video is almost 10 minutes long, but dude is funny!
Thank you so much!! Saved me 100$ and it took 10 minutes and cost me 15 bucks
Great description, had the problem yesterday and thought it might require a tow truck and a mechanic. After seeing this video, went and got the 14057 Help! at Auto Zone, got to the truck and Voila!, fixed in 5 minutes. Appreciate your help.
Appreciate this Guy, he's hilarious and informative. Thank you
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! So glad I watched your video, saved us from getting ripped off at the mechanic. You're awesome for sharing this video!
Man thanks so much! Just finished fixing my truck took no time at all!

They got yo ass😂
You are hilarious!!! Loved learning how to fix my car and laughed the whole way! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!
You are a lifesaver thank you from a single mama in Canada xoxo
this helped...
a lot of times you just need something to give you some confidence, or even more, to help you lose the "dread" of the job.. this helped with the dread.
took longer to walk to the store than to do the job... Maybe it's just my 05 Trailblazer, but jacking the truck up was overkill.
I'm still a little skeptical because it really seems like it is going to come off at some point while driving since it comes off so easy when handling it... but I at least know where it is now in case i have to throw it in gear by hand now.... I was going to try to order a "better" one from rockauto, but they list the same one.. they also list another one(14055), a clear one... which looks like the clear one that comes in the 14057 set... Which makes me wonder because the instructions in the 14057 say the clear one fits GMs... The dorman site doesn't provide much insight, it just says both numbers fit the vehicle.
Have you found that the clear one doesn't work???
Either way, very good video..... thanks
The 14055 is the Original style bushing that came in the cable from factory. It can be difficult to install and i have seen several cable ends get broken trying to force it in. The two piece design of of the 14057 makes it much easier to install, but both will work.
ah... old plastic... gives under the careless pressure... yeah that probably would have been me...
I still like that design better.. i may try a heat gun for a few seconds to make the shifter end a tiny bit more malleable, then pop it in...
thanks.... useful info.
1, 2, 3, times wasn't a charm. Your video was #4. And the best.
I thought there had to be a little more TLC to this repair.
The other 3 didn't mention cleaning the connections first. I think I would have since they contact a plastic part. But I wouldn't have thought about checking the "cable support" ? Which did need a little adjustment. That saved me a bit of aggravation since it kept my shift from moving properly. All better now.
Thanks. I'm now Subscribed.👍
GOTTA LOVE THEM OREOS.😋
One thing I've learned down thru the years is if you're honest with customers and try to do right by them, they will return to you when they need something else repaired. Had the same thing happen last weekend in the middle of nowhere, got it home and did the repair laying on the ground. I used part #14055 and pressed the bushing in with a pair of channel lock pliers, but the part you used is just as effective, even more simple.....
The 14055 is much more similar to the original bushing in the cable, but it can be such a tight fit to push it into the cable end ive see the cable break while pushing it in with pliers. Ive never had anything like that happen with the orange bushings, but the 14055 isnt the wrong one either. Just be careful, the cable itself is kinda a pain to install due to having to lift the carpet pad up and snake it out and back in.
I just did this yesterday afternoon. I needed one of the clear bushings from Dorman 14057 (cost me a little over $15 at O'Reillys). My AT linkage/shift lever is on the top side, luckily, though removing/replacing the airflow assembly to gain access was a bit of a bear.
It was an '02 Buick Rendezvous. I guess I have a spare clear bushing, but I think the rest of the car will completely fall apart before I need to do this fix again.
This video saved my ass today! Thank you so much!!
Tks the same thing happeng to me the mechanic shop wanted to change the whole cable and want $200 for it i spend less then $15 dollars andvi did it myself tks once again
Thanks for the step by step instructions! Helped me save $$$
Thank you thank you thank you you just saved my week with this video. I thought my transmission got broken but no, it just needed that little piece to get back to work. It was easy and cheap so thanks again bro.

@@JBAutomotive794you bet! Just did that for you. Well thanks again dude! You have helped so many people with this issue I see. Great video, and funny too. Take care man.
Master technician, good man!
I don’t have any mechanic skills either but I like saving money when I can’t afford a mechanic.. I really appreciate guys like you for helping us try to be a mechanic 😊
Bro thank you for taking your time to show us this. Looks like you had a few idiots hit the wrong button 👍 $15 and about 15-20 minutes to watch your video and repair.
Thanks bunches!! I shared this video with my mechanic!
Great video, anyone should be able to do this after watching this video.
Thanks so much for this video.. You just saved me a couple of bucks on a tow. I am glad I looked at RUclips before the tow truck came.. Now.. I need to know how to get my hatch back door open
Maaaan thanks for sharing this video!! Save me time and money on this one
I see others put it on backwards. This is the right way.
Thank you🙏. Interestingly the "instructions" indicate an alternative?🤣🤣🤣 After wasting 30 minutes or so... Found your video 🙏
Thanks kind sir. I AM a shop owner and I appreciate your video. Very helpful. I'll have a beer in your in honor! After I'm home of course.
Thanks for this video. Easy fix! You mentioned the cable with the bushing can still come off the ball end with some force. I noticed this as well after my install (got the audible "click", as you indicated). Should I be concerned that this could pop off while shifting? How likely is that?
As long as it clicked it shouldn't come off, run it back and forth a few times quickly and see if it withstands that. If its still on, I'd feel confident about it
Thank you so much. Extremely helpful video. YOU ROCK!!!
James you’re the best you saved me money and a lot of time brother!
This very helpfull. Thank you so much for Your vídeo.
Thanks brother god bless you 😇
Dude! Thank you. Exactly what happened to me. Loved the video and the repair. Just know that, today, you helped someone. So cool! I owe you a beer!
