No Check Engine light on…. 204,000 miles…Same year… No Issues with car ever…Dropped off some food… Car crunk right up as usual … No Reverse at 11pm (HA)……Called Tow Man… found and Watched Your Video … Husband went right to it under hood and popped it back on…car went in reverse … Drove Home…. No Tow Man Needed after waiting hours….THANK YOUUUU! This was Just what I needed!
Happened to me in the whataburger drive thru lol. I tore up the console too and when my dad showed up he told me to pop the hood and snapped it back into place. Gonna pick up that busing today and change it out
Thank u for the video, this just happened to me today I thought it was the transmission or the battery, because it was stuck on reverse so i couldn't even turn it on or put it in gear, so i took the battery out got it tested n it was good so then I thought it the transmission, but luckily the tow truck man told me it might be the linkage n he was right, also he showed me a way to put it in neutral without the key since mine was stuck in reverse learned alot today n I'm very glad it wasn't something major
There is a video on how to put in into drive manually, I forgot the name of the video, but just look up on how yo put a dodge avenger into gear manually, I hope this helps
holy shit dude thank you. I was stuck in a pharmacy drive thru starting to tear everything apart in the console trying to apply the 'fixes' from other vids I was hastily watching. Thank god this one showed up. The bushing piece didn't *look* or feel bad but I wasn't able to inspect it close up. I was however able to place the cable back on and drive home. life saver
I thank God for you because this literally happened to me today! I followed your steps and my car 🚗 started right up sir! This video was very informative, interesting and helpful! New sub ❤🎉ty again. Blessings up to you and your family.
Similar thing just happened to me in my 08 avenger. The cable end popped off when going from drive into park. The transmission was in the reverse position when it came off, and the shifter went all the way to park. couldn't start the car as it was reading the transmission in reverse, and I couldn't release the shifter from park as it's safety locked in position till the car is running. Other videos were long dissasembly/cable replacements. almost gave up. this video popped into my recommendation. with the e brake on(car still off), I had to use some pliers to pull the transmission linkage pin/arm forward to put the transmission in park, then I was able to pop the cable back on. I stop at a mom and pop parts shop, they had this exact bushing kit on theor rack, last one. showed them the package, compared, the same. wrestled with replacing the bushing for a bit, but got it seated, popped it back on the pin, problem solved. 20$ CND fix
Thank u for this video. That is exactly what was wrong with my 2013 avenger. He charged me $100, told me they don’t sell that little part alone.. that I had to buy the whole thing. So now I know before I go pay him tomorrow
Lori Gonzalez glad you got it figured out ! Definitely not a big issue just a little plastic part cost like 11 10 bucks at auto parts store . You can get the part number off of the box you see in the video if needed . Thanks for watching !
I was at the dealer having it serviced when I was leaving. Stopped to look at another car, after which it wouldn’t shift. My lucky day, one of the mechanics knew what happened, didn’t have the bushing so he zip tied it to get me going for now.
Dooood!! That was it. My wife's car would not make it up the driveway.... that part is gone and the shifter cable completely disconnected. Thank you for the help Kyle!!
Had this problem the other day. Your video allowed me to find the problem quickly while working on it in a parking lot ... in the rain ... at night .... looking at RUclips on my phone. That's when you just need the answer, which your video gave me. The pack of replacement bushings looked just like yours. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!!
Thank you so much, this was exactly my problem, we thought for sure we'd have to pay someone, but for the 1st time ever, my mom and I did it!👍🏾 Again, thank you!👏🏾
If anyone has issues with windows not rolling down in the Avenger or not wanting to roll back up after being rolled down lemme know it’s the control module in your driver door panel that has the lock unlock and all the window buttons on it. was 100 bucks at advance auto and was very simple to replace just needed a screwdriver you pop it out and connect the plug in the bottom and just pop it back in place
Had this problem, affected my passenger door, and locks didn't work in the driver Side for a Long time before that. can confirm replacing the module (was about 120 CND for me) resolved the issue. took like three screws out and careful prying of the plastic clips.
Much appreciation bro! You have no idea how hopeless me and my girl felt after buyin this car yesterday so I could get a different job and havin this happen. We instantly thought transmission. Definitely won’t recommend this dealership but thank you G
3 questions: Did you use the smallest bushing or next size up? Is the flat side supposed to snap over the ball or the beveled side? Did you need pliers to snap the bushing into the loop at the end of the cable?
Thanks you sir, you save me a lot of money, the same happens to me, I tried the same as you did until I saw your video and I checked what you said it was wrong and you were right that was it, same exact part.
Yea man it’s crazy how the one little piece can make it act up like that ! Unfortunately my avenger got totaled in November.. definitely miss it for real
Thank you so much for this video!!! I was ready to buy a whole new shift kit till I checked under the hood and saw that the shift bushing had dry rotted and the shift cable had come off. Instead of calling a tow truck, I am going to try to get in gear by holding the shift cable on with a piece of duct tape (just to get it in gear), and drive it to my mechanic... wish me luck!!!
Mines don’t get stuck bt it do let me move the shifter up an down bt when I put it in reverse it won’t accelerate everything else work fine nothing wrong with my transmission or motor
Basically gotta tear the old one up lol I just got it out with a screwdriver or something and used some pliers to get the new one in . Mine was dry rotted so it broke once I started trying to get it out . It is a hassle though for sure
Does this part fit other year avengers? I noticed anther comment was for an 08 and it worked. I have a 2011 with the same issue but the parts store is saying it wont fit my car but online also said it wouldnt fit your 2012. Was wondering if i should just go get the one u got as wel? Thanks for the help ! ❤
M. All. Of course it works for other years this video is for a 2012 model. Don’t ever listen to someone at a parts store they aren’t mechanics a lot of them have no clue what they are talking bout lol. But yes to answer the question this video is for a 2012 so it would work fine for a 2011 etc
Thank you so much! My car wont shift out of park and a customer at the store I was broke down at looked under the hood and he showed me what was wrong but he didn't tell me the name of the part and nobody at the auto part store could help me and I was told that I would have to go to the Dodge dealership and I don't want to do that!
Elizabeth Watkins glad I could help ! This happened to me when I came out of grocery store and I didn’t know what happened lol. But advance auto has em in a 3 pack it’s like 11 bucks only one of them will fit properly so I took my broken one out and match it up to the one in the pack
Ray Campbell hard to tell without being there. Maybe check the connection to your battery move the wires around a bit see if that does anything. When my alternator went bad in my avenger it died while driving and eventually it wouldn’t start at all when I parked but the lights and stuff would come on .
Ray Campbell if you can’t get it started but moving the positive and negative on the battery then yea I would. Maybe see if you can get it jumped and go to a auto part store to have them test the battery and run the codes if any are poppin up
David Brackett had the old plastic brushing break off in the linkage so really just took it out with pliers and new one should just go in think I used pliers to put some pressure on it but that’s it just gotta be careful not to put too much pressure on the new bushing or it’ll break too . Parts bout 11 bucks and shouldn’t take more then 15 mins .
David Brackett unfortunately when I was putting new one in I tried to move by radiator hose too far to get some more room to work with and it was dry rotted so it broke and had to go buy new one of those as well
This exact same thing happened with me tonight. Except, everything is the opposite. Dashboard was stuck in Drive, and shifter was in Park. Now I’m hoping it’s something minor and not the transmission. I have my mechanic coming to check it out 🤞🏽
Man I have this problem the bushing was missing replaced it but didn't solve my problem still can't go into drive or reverse anybody have any other answers 2011 dodge avenger
IlNatsume- you might have a issue with the actual cable linkage that runs from engine bay to the shifter knob. Pop the plastic piece off so you can see under the shifter knob and make sure the linkage is where it should be and is connected . But it also may be a issue with the transmission hard to say
It’s a pain in the ass I used some pliers cuz channel locks were too big to get down there well my big hands didn’t help either. I also disconnected the rubber tubes going to my radiator and to get more room to get it in there .
Thank you ,thank you, so much ... I watched this video after discovering my spring wasnt broke in the shifter, I then look at the bushing you pointed out in the video, And tada! There it was so ,I went and got the lil part ,my sister and I struggled a min. To get it in but we did it and I just want to thank you so so much it saved the day for me. Blessings to you ! My cars a 2010 so same part works on it too.

Awesome job thank you so much
Thank you so much!! Mine´s a 2010 Dodge Avenger and this video saved me the $1,000 dlls the shop wanted to charge me!!
My 08 Avenger did the same thing today.
I was at the dealer having it serviced when I was leaving. Stopped to look at another car, after which it wouldn’t shift. My lucky day, one of the mechanics knew what happened, didn’t have the bushing so he zip tied it to get me going for now.
Dooood!! That was it. My wife's car would not make it up the driveway.... that part is gone and the shifter cable completely disconnected. Thank you for the help Kyle!!
No problem glad to hear you got it figured out !
You saved me having my car towed and fixed. Thank you so much!!!!!
What’s the name of the part?
Had this problem the other day. Your video allowed me to find the problem quickly while working on it in a parking lot ... in the rain ... at night .... looking at RUclips on my phone. That's when you just need the answer, which your video gave me. The pack of replacement bushings looked just like yours. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!!
John Lorch no problem glad it helped you out !!
So my bushing on my shifter broke, are they the same parts for the inside?
Thank you that's exactly what happened to my 2013 dodge avenger
