- There was pretty much no bushings left in either cable end. Cheap fix.
Napa = 620-1410 $r21
Advance Auto = Doorman 14044 $27
When I get new e-clips I'll try and provide the proper size.
Update:
1/4" e-clips from Lowes on top $1.21 part # 138751. Found in the special hardware pull out drawers/bins. Did not use a washer on top, just the e-clip.
To removed the fuse block, two 10mm bolts to the right and possibly one 8mm rear left side, That 8mm also has a phillips head on it. Battery is 10mm bolts as well.

Sweet! I just bought a used 2002 PT cruiser, but I didn't check it out in reverse when I got it. Sometimes it goes in reverse and sometimes it doesn't. I'll have to take a look at it.
Thanks Justin! Have a 2002 Dodge Neon with same issue. Found your video and the Neon is set up up same way. Changed worn out bushing with little issue. About 30 min. Want to pass on that its great to find self-fixing videos, but to those trashing professional mechanics/garages/dealerships, very few are "crooks" and out to screw you over. They have employees, overhead, insurance, etc... , also know that if they "cobble" together a fix for you, and you get in an accident, they are liable. I respect my local garage for saying that they won't cobble together a fix. I determine what I feel is safe to do myself and what I want professionally done. So I'm thankful for Justin and my Local Garage
Thank you Justin ! You saved me hundreds of dollars. I was quoted $548.00 by a mechanic, states the whole cable assembly has to be replaced. I bought part # 14044 at advanced auto today. Phase 1 is done .( the part under the hood ) already shifting much better. Now, on to phase two tomorrow, take that pesky console off. I subscribed to your channel & will refer your channel- A.N
AWESOME VIDEO!!! You just saved me a ton of money...my girlfriend and I completed the whole task in 15 minutes!!!
THANK YOU BRO..YOU JUST SAVED ME $250 for the part...I just called my local Napa auto parts store..and they have the kit for around $23.00 dollars...THANK YOU FOR THE TIME AND CONSIDERATION TO HELP OTHERS ON THIS VIDEO..THAT HAS SAVED ALOT OF PEOPLE TONS OF MONEY..8)
Thank me by Supporting local Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts. (I have two of each)
Appreciate the video. Had to replace my bushings, I could not shift into reverse. Just a quick note. The auto parts store had to order my bushings leaving me needing a temporary fix. 3/8 fuel line is very close to the same inside and outside diameter, and will fit the bushings in the cab under the shifter as well. A few bucks for a six inches of hose, and you can cut about a dozen pieces to get you back on the road.
+Clifford Poe Note: there are two cables with bushings under the hood. Change both. I have not changed the one under the shifter yet.
Your video gave me all the information I needed to fix the shifter cable on my 2005 PT Cruiser. The NAPA store had the parts and I was able to quickly install it in the parking lot at the NAPA store. Thanks for posting, you saves me lots of money.
Can I ask how you were able to get the bushing into the white piece? I've been working on it for a few hours and I can't get it in.
This video saved me about $500. THANK YOU!!!! It only cost me about $7.00.
I just replaced my bushings (they were completely gone), super easy and saved me $400+. Thank you for the vid!
Thank you very much, good sir! This was exactly my problem and you saved me a gazillion dollars. I managed to get the new bushings in the hard way by only taking the battery out, and it still only took about a half hour. Again, thank you for taking the time to share!
Very good video! What size E-clips are those that secure the bushings?
Dorman Part is #14044. It is exactly the same contents you see herein
I ordered the dorman part and the bushing is solid plastic. No give to get it into the white end.
White end of cable? Take it off post first. Might only go in one side, from bottom? Search the part # on RUclips, perhaps a video? The black bushings fail quickly, good to see they updated the part. Email me some pictures. jnjshiffler@yahoo.com
Note: The cable bushing closest to the engine broke down for me rapidly. the kits have 3 bushings, two cables under the battery and I believe the third is for a linkage for the shifter knob/shaft end under the inside console.. I was able to fit the smaller bushing INTO the bigger bushing once I pulled out the remaining bushing "spokes". I RECOMMEND getting the new bushings and filling the "spoke" holes with silicone caulk.
Is it hard to get that bracket off that holds the power distribution box? On my PT, looks like that needs to be removed before I can get to that one bushing on the right. Thx!
My PT Cruiser is an automatic. It started having problems getting out of park. I thought it was just the knob sticking because I could push on it and it would go into reverse etc. The other night after I went into the store and came back it wouldn't shift out of park. Brake lights are working fine and responding when I push on the brakes. I don't know if it's the cable, shifter interlock part or something else.
Automaitcs have similar cable bushings I think.
@@JnJShiffler Thank you!
Thanks!
I first discovered this problem 6 years ago and found a lady that replaced the bushings on the inside end next to the shifter and under the console. See ruclips.net/video/5Atbr8sxkwcI/видео.html I bought bushings and they came as more than one, now I know why.
There are two cables to replace the bushings on the shifter end. I was part way into this end and found your video and the same bushings, but on the transmission side of the cables.
I just looked at them and found that they both disintegrated too.
So while changing one six years ago solved the immediate problem, all four should be done at once. These rubber bushing just fall apart.
Gonna go find the parts for the transmission side now and I should be done.
Yes! Always check for the simple fix first. Don't assume the whole transmission is bad.
For the manual shift transmission, even the top repair manuals say take them to an expert. Too bad they don't touch on these fixes first.
I wonder how many PT are in junkyards because of these simple fixes.
Bro i got same problem. Started with It being hard to get into liw gears after it warmed up. Now it'll not go into reverse period. Hopefully this is what's wrong. Thx for the very informative video.
I now have a clutch issue. I can shift gears with car off but when running I cannot get clutch to release. Friggin odd that a "worn" clutch can prevent shifting out of gear? WTF? I still suspect something wrong with my clutch lever. I already replaced the clutch hydraulic piston and lines so it's not that.
@@JnJShiffler no you either need to adjust the clutch hydraulic pedal. Which is kinda hard cause it's such a tight fit in there. Or there's 2 lines the are under the air filter that holds the clutch line. The stupid bushing is crappy plastic that will completely erode after years. So check those 2 ghings cause I'm doing myself again. Plus ive code for throttlebody censor wich is 60 bucks and another stupid cheap sensor that'll be another 40 bucks the power steering oil pressure sensor. Or something like that. Its on the bottom of the car of course. And the driver side window has went out again for the second time. They charged me 300 bucks to fix 1st time. And I've replaced the clutch. Batteries only last 1 maybe 2 years. This car is a money monster trap. I swear. But hope i helped ya out my friend best of luck . Just look up how to do a clutch pedal adjustment. And the other vid let me fink a link for ta one min ok. I'll post it.
@@JnJShiffler ruclips.net/video/akgIKm1pQLM/видео.html
@@JnJShiffler also in the description in the link i sent ya there's a link he posted that has the bushing oart needed you can order from amazon. Best of luck. And god bless.
@@JnJShiffler bro my bad i didn't relize the comment was from this shifter cable video. Lmfao. I was posting comments earlier. And thought it was a reply from them. Ha ha. But it should more than likely be the clutch oedal adjustment. That determines when the clutch engages and disengages. Ok goof luck. Hope you hotta little lol. I know i did.
Show me how to put the bushings on under the hood I have it on but can't get cable on
I am 85 years old. bought a PT Cruser, have nothing but trouble have spent all I had on repairs. it started makeing a medal to medal noise whe I would stop and start out again. Now its jumping and stoping on me. please tell me what to do. I only use this car to go to nursing home to visit my husband;
Geraldine Bennett manual or automatic transmission? What year model?
mine gets stuck but once I get it out its fine and shifts fine throughout the day. Is seemed like after it set overnight it got stuck then was fine after. It also went into neutral while driving them I got it back into drive. I was told that I need a new shifter cable all together. Could it just be bushings or the entire cable.
Stick shift or automatic? There's a bushing under the shifter too inside. I have another video on that one. You can lube the shifter cable with a special attachment.
Thank you !
hHow To fix mechanical linkages
I have a Srt4 dodge neon same issue I have new bushings it just won't go in reverse the shifter is going in reverse but the trans won't the dealer is trying to find out why
New bushings at the tranny top AND under the shifter?
Justin yea there booger bushings I was thinking maybe if it was the cables? or maybe need adjustment? it's just not going into reverse well the shifter is but the trans isn't
Hmm. not sure. There are 2 cables. Not sure which one does what.
Would it be fair to say this carries over to most manual transmissions?
This is only the second stick shift I owned and seems to be quite problematic with the PT Cruisers.
wait I have a doge neon and my car does no reverse or go forward should I check this it manual too
+Juan Dominguez Yes, I think they are very similar. Also the linkage at the shifter too inside the car under the e brake.
what size bolt are the 2 that hold that bracket thats my only issue need to know which one to buy lol
VI_ACES_IV which bracket are you referring to? everything is metric. m6 m8 probably. watch thread spacing with metrics, can be 1.0, 1.25, 1.5 are common. M8-1.50 for example.
the bracket above the right bushing
Sorry, don't recall. M8 or M10
i take it this is a manual, i have an automatic, i can see the cable doing its thing, by pivoting the pin going down in the transmission, i have an engine light on. What could be the problem, i can not move transmission out of park, the lever in the car goes through its full range of motion. even in neutral, i can not push the car.
Look up problems with the parking pawl pin breaking off. That would be my first guess.
Justin Shiffler thank you
right now the car is parked 30 miles from home, so have to get it towed home first..
If the parking pawl is broken and locked they will drag the tires some, let them know to help minimize the tread wear on the front tires.
I have tried both the booger and the dorman both like to pop off the shifter in the console. does anyone have idea on hold to lock these down to the shifter
+Do W I think in the engine compartment anyway I used 1/4" e-clips from Lowes.
WHAT WERE THE SYMPTOMS
I could only get into reverse.
OK THANKS. GREAT VIDEO
