I recently purchased and installed this kit on my 2009 Silverado. Although the grommet was slightly larger than the cable end, it fit perfectly. I'm glad I took a chance and repaired the cable rather than replacing it entirely.
For this vehicle, we recommend part 14055.

This brilliant fix saved me $150 and a lot of time. Instead of replacing the entire transmission cable, simply remove the old bushing, replace it with this one, and secure it with the C clamp. br> I have a 2005 Chevy Silverado 2500 that fits perfectly. br> I carefully removed the old pushing with a 5/8 drillbit, being careful not to overstretch the entire hold. Then, with a pair of large pliers, snap it into place and secure it with a C clamp. Please see the photos in the attachments.
So I figured it'd fit my 13 suburban because they're from the same generation. My bushing was completely gone, so I didn't need to drill it out with a 3/8. All I had to do was push it on until it clicked (which took some force). After that, simply connect the cable and secure it with the lock fitting. I was only there for about 3 minutes. This bushing fix has made me very happy!.
It's not often that a simple and inexpensive solution to a costly problem appears. I used a standard 3/8 drill bit that was a little too tight, so I ran the drill through a few more times to get a nice and perfect fit; the metal clip keeps the bushing from falling out of the cable. I am extremely pleased.
Installation was simple and the fit was excellent. I drilled out the green bushing and a small piece of black plastic, then squeezed the bushing kit through with vicegrips before installing the clip. With daily use on our 4L80E, it's been going strong for a few weeks now. Express van with all the necessary equipment.
It was a perfect match. Use the 3/8 drill to remove the old one (nice and easy, it melts like butter), slid the piece in, and used a channel lock to push it in slowly but firmly, just like the reviews before me said. The click could be heard. It took longer to remove the tools than it did to complete the task! On my 2000 GMC Sonoma, I put it to good use.
It was difficult to get it to fit through and secure the lock clip, but with a little more cleaning and grease, it's now working. Thanks.
Drill a hole through the cable end and into the bushing, and you're ready to go.
It is a life saver. I wasn't sure if it would work, but it turned out to be a success. The old bushing at the end of the shift cable must be knocked out or carefully drilled (only plastic) and replaced with this one. My shift cable bushing had just worn out and kept falling off the shift lever at transmission, so I used this to save a lot of money on a new cable and labor time. Job completed in 15 minutes! br>GMC 2500HD (2003 model).
