Default GEAR SHIFTER BUSHING


I was driving home here resent and my gear shift just totally came loose. Freaked me totally out. I've never had a problem with my car until now. Well, I finally get the car off the road, it was tuff cause it wouldn't roll that great, take out the consol and what do I see? The cables are off the shifter. The bushing that holds the ball in the cable ring is shattered. I get home with it call Saturn and they tell me I have to buy the hole cable system. $174 for it. No way I can just get the $1.00 bushing of course. So I get online and start searching. GOOGLE SAVED MY LIFE. Hear is a site where this guy had the same problem and someone replayed with an answer. It worked just perfect. http://www.autoguide.net/cgi-sec/aut...cgi?1589.shtml So if you have same problem I recommend this as a defiant replacement. Works just great for me. If anyone knows of something better please get back to me at sc1whitedragon@aol.com. Hope this helps anyone who has had this happen to them.

Same problem happened to me a week ago. I asked the guys from 6th Planet Used Parts and they had solved the problem, they actually made a shifter with the bottom part and bushings made of metal so it never breaks again. They said it was a very common problem with the Saturns. Got the shifter for 60 dollars there, and I guess its worth it cause now I am sure it wont break.
