The cable will be connected to the shifter end of the car, and the arm extending under the car will be connected to the other end. The amount of replacement cables depends on which end of the cable needs to be reattached, unless you were really unlucky and both ends came loose at the same time.

It works for my 2003 Hummer H2 but I have no idea why.
This usually happens at the end of transmission.

It is a great pleasure to work with you, if you own a Trailblazer. There is no question of if or when your shift linkage will break and your vehicle will not shift because the bushing broke. This problem does not come up if at all, but rather when it does. In either case, the other will break within a month when the first fails, either at the transmission or the car. The only way to fix this issue is to either buy this or get rid of the Chevy Trailblazer, as this is just another issue Chevy Trailblazer owners will have to deal with.
Splinters of the original came from the hardening of the plastic. That I was in the driveway was a good thing. I was able to learn the actual steps by watching a YOUTUBE how-to video and reading these parts. When I called the GM dealer, I was told that I would be charged $400. In addition to the parts I needed, I was given a new transmission cable, a part I knew I didn't need, but because it came in a set they said it was the only way to obtain it. Nothing to worry about, this part fixed it in less than four minutes. You will receive a check for $100. 00.
Using the larger one, I needed to connect the shift cable to the linkage. Although it was a little painful, I didn't quite know how to get all the things I needed. To loosen the brake booster assembly, 1) remove the 2 nuts connecting it to the brake booster, and 2) remove the two bolts that hold it together. The bushing is then connected to the cable by a clamp pushed down into the gap
7) use the c-clamp to do this Use a clamp to secure the shifter cable (a lot easier than previous steps)
8) reconnect everything
You will notice a good deal of movement in the cable when it is reconnected, this is normal. The linkage assembly is held in place with a vertical nut. You need to move the shifter all the way forward to see the nut. The electronics under the linkage assembly could not be disconnected, so I used the c-clamp to remove them With a clamp shoved into everything to get the bushing in, it might be more efficient to pull the entire cable out from under the hood, but this would require you to remove the electrical connector on the bottom if you're daring enough to connect As a final step, I added 1 wire tie to the linkage cable and shifter, just to make sure everything is It's not my fault that I don't know what I'm doing because I have no experience working on cars. I only used Google and YouTube as instructions. I learned a lot during the two hours I spent working on this.
There are many reviews that say it has to be trimmed or cut, but I did not have any problems with that. I was quoted $86 for the whole cable, and I would have to install it or pay someone to do it. The car was back to shifting in a matter of minutes after I bought it and installed it. Not a single trim or even a single stress was applied. All I had to do was apply a little pressure, and the cable snapped right into place.
I could not have put this on easier. A pair of pliers was all that was needed. In an attempt to bs me for more expensive repairs, mechanics tried bluffing me, but after I checked myself, I realized they were wrong. I ordered the bushing from here and installed it myself after I saw that it was just the bushing. The hardest part for me (one arm that was useful after my stroke) was jacking my truck up. The ease of the process is clear from the above.
I installed this in my 2003 Chevy Cavalier quite a bit of work, but I was able to install it. After that, I realized my shift cable was broken on both ends, on the front (connected to the transmission) as well as on the back (connected to the clutch). I was able to use the other bushing for about a minute before I realized it was too flimsy and it would stretch if I shifted. It worked well for the first bushing, but it was useless for the other.
A DIY fix for a transmission cable issue I discovered on youtube for my QX56 led me to this. GM specifies that it is for GM cars, but the package comes with two brushes instead. It's nice to have these two options, but one works for the QX56 and the other isn't needed, so I got rid of This is a quick, cheap fix for something that would probably cost $400 or more From the dealership, I was charged a total of $600. Using youtube videos as an instruction source is a good idea.
I have a 2006 GMC Envoy fitted with this product. I found that the clear one fit perfectly onto My finger was a little stiff and hard to press in/on, but it was very cold at the time. Next time, if it's very cold again, I'll try warming it up with a heat gun or hair dryer to make it easier to stick. In addition to that, I think dish soap or other chemicals would benefit the installation process.
