I have a 2004 GMC Envoy the shifter cable came off and I had to put it in park myself. I noticed at the end of the shifter cable that the round plastic washer at the end of the cable broke. How can I find that plastic part. I dont want to buy a whole new shifter cable just for that one part

Try the link I pasted I assure you will get the solution of your problem. http://toolsnyou.com/

Since you can push it. It would be the shifter cable(clips broke or just came disconnected) or the bracket holding the cable on either end of it. Most likely at the shifter. I have seen them broke at the transmission. But it was a fault of the person trying to remove it from the bracket.

Gear shifter flopping around?..may have broken cable/linkage
Mine broke andI zip tied cable to linkage.works for awhile w easy shifting or zip tie can break..i

The shifter cable end is probably broke.

Sometimes the cable housing slips in the clamp. With the ****** in Park, loosen the clamp and slide the housing towards the end of the cable, then retighten the clamp. Very similar to adjusting the throttle cable on a lawn mower.

It sounds like your vehicles neutral switch has gone bad. If you replace the switch you should be fine. Then again It could also be your shifter cable. These problems are kind of hard to determine without actually seeing the vehicle. I hope this information helps you out at least a little, and if you have any more questions please feel free to ask.

you can put it in park fro underneath the vehicle set park brake use jack & jackstands . sounds like you need a shift cable . fun to replace on that rigg

sounds like you have a broken shifter cable.Go under the rig and shift the transmision manually.Put on the parking brake and on the drivers side of the trany should be the lever to move.Look for the broken part while you are there it will also help to locate the shift lever on the trany.

You most likley have a bent/damaged shifter cable. Unhook it at the trans, and move the linkage, with the park brake set. Push it all the way forward, that is park. The display should change and it should start. If so you will need the cable. Good Luck

cheak the brake pedel swich it work a swich in the gear seleter
