Quick and easy shift linkage repair GMC Envoy and Chevy Trailblazer 

Nice vid really appreciate it! I just did this for my 2003 trailblazer 4.2. I got part 14507 from advanced auto. I bought 14055 as well bc I read different reviews on advanced auto site & on RU-vid of people saying 14507 one was wrong size & get the other. 14507 is right for the 2003 trailblazer 4.2 (the orange bushings) slid it onto the lever thing then put the linkage on, had to use force then I heard it snap & lock in place. I then pushed the cap on & that tightened as well. Thought I’d put this out there bc I found plenty conflicting info, hoping to save someone else the headache.

I was able to find this video and fix my problem in a random parking lot. Thanks for breaking it down and being super clear. I put the big side on the side that’s supposed to connect 🤙 Can you contact me I wanna buy you a beer 🍺🙏

thank you, this is the best video on the subject I've seen. I had this issue on my 1999 GMC Jimmy, well done. If you ever find yourself in Western Nebraska look me up, I'll take you to the range and we'll ring some steel

This video got me out and about. God bless you brother. I thought my fishing trip turned out bad but after this video it made it a hell of lot better. Thanks

Thanks bro! ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 i was tired of having to jump underneath the car while i was halfway in/halfway out a parking space to snap that mug back on all the time....all embarrassed holdin up traffic 😂😂😂

This happened to me this morning I stopped at the gas station with my daughter shes 39 and cut the car off and I noticed when I put it in park that it sure was easy to do so so she put the gas in and get ready to start the car and nothing so I thought it was a battery I thought it was a starter blah blah blah. So I did a Google search and it said something about transmission cable so I said to my daughter go look up there in the hood and see if you see anything moving and she saw this thing going back-and-forth she reached in and she said it looks like it’s loose and it should be attached to that other piece over there.Oh so she attached it and I started the car right up and then I looked at your video and it shows me what little piece I need to replace because right now all we’re doing is just having to stick it down into the hole until we get the bushing thank you so much. Mother and daughter minds work together better peace and love

Love your video & instructions! Yes, the transmission was being naughty & tried to give me a grey hair. Thanks for the quick & informative video

My '06 Trailblazer just did this. Thank you so much. My wife was in panic.

You seem like a very graceful man thank you and God bless

Thanks man this solved my problem.

Thank you, you saved my Memorial Day Weekend. Easy fix for anyone who can fit under their vehicle.

And in 2016 Cadillac still sell vehicles with this problem. I have a 2016 CTS and their factor plastic bushing came undone. You would think after several years of customer complaints about this ongoing issue they would made an upgrade to the part but that's the exact same looking part on my 2016. Dealership wanted $1000 to replace the cable. Literally you can go under your car and push this thing in place and it will switch gears thereafter. It will continue to come loose because you need to replace the bushing as you did in this video. The dealership will tell you no we cant replace just the bushing, we replacing the whole cable. Which means they have to tear open your driver side floor and center console and shifter knob to remove old wire and rerun a new wire. Who knows what they can mess up next tearing all sorts of stuff up. As an owner of my car, the last thing I want is to have a mechanic tear down my car, I'd rather go the easiest route and make the bushing myself. Which I did....

Thank you man, you saved me a whole Lotta headaches! 👍🏻

This just happened to me, thanks for the video. Wasn't sure if I needed tools or not.

I had been watching a few videos and I will say yours was part of what got me to fix my car! As a single woman this was helpful! Thank you so much!!! ...this was all fun too...I sort of want to take some mechanic 🧰 classes now. 🤔🤔🤔

Thank you man saved me alot of struggle and money easy as pie fix.

You're the man. Just had this break on my 06 trailblazer

Thanks man, saved me a ton of time!

Reading the instruction sheet included with the Dorman 14057 Kit, and I quote, "Yellow shift bushings fit Transmission side of Ford applications ... Clear bushing fits ... Shift and Transmission side of GM applications.

Exactly what happened to mine today, great video thank you

I just did mine today, thanks to your video!

Thank you for the information, it happened to my 06 Envoy

Simple, straightforward, effective! No bad lighting or overvolumed, overpopulated music. You should give lessons on how to make RU-vid videos. Thanks

Brother you are the best!!!! Thank you so much!!!

Driving back from Ocean yesterday, pulled over to look at a pretty small park, ready to leave and Whamm!!! Vehicle wouldn't start. Just replaced battery - with new. All lights -on dash worked, but shifter was stuck,unmovable in park. Tried to jump and tried to smack starter solenoid, still no go. Noticed that vehicle would move a bit, so used ebrake. CALLED AAA ( GREAT to have), Driver arrived and was ready to tow, but looked under vehicle first- then said " You're going home". What? "Yes, you're going to be able to ride this home." It was a shift linkage, Exactly just in this video. Took a zip-tie and secured, and Wha-La!!! Vehicle wouldn't start in DRIVE- was reason. Thanks to a few locals to offer assistance, Thanks to AAA for doing a great job coordinating finding a tow truck driver. Thanks for this video- to explain what issue was nd how to fix! Must say that WE ARE BLESSED!

If you look at the instructions then you will see that the flanges go in the opposite side on the cable. To get a snug fit this is the proper way. On this repair the tension from the level will pull it off the pin. I wish I could add the picture.

For 2006 Trailblazer I had better luck with part # 14055 vs 14057.

I really appreciate your help.

Thanks bro! Couldn’t have diagnosed and fixed the problem myself without you!

Thank you for posting...saved me!

Thank you so much!! Was the cable end 👍

Great video. You saved me a lot of work.. Dorman is very slack with their instructions. OK don't use the orange, it doesn't lock very well. Dorman 14055 might be better.

All the videos and yours is the only one that actually shows the work 🤦🏽‍♀️. Thanks mane

How I handled my problem on a NJ to FLORIDA drive, stuck at a gas pump in Lumberton NC, was … without having any tools whatsoever and it was 11pm at night… I took my IPhone usb cable and tied knots on the shift cable and transmission lever, and removed all slack, and pulled tightly. I finished my trip to Florida without any issues. AND YES, IM A Genius‼️‼️I didn’t have to pay a mechanic, or Towing or get a room over night.. I kept it pushin’ another 500 miles‼️ I love my cheapness and ingenuity‼️

thank you so muck for you video! I had the same problem on my 05' envoy and know next to nothing about cars. went and got the same part at auto part store and had a buddy slide under and but it on took about five minutes because the old bushing was playing hard to take off.

Wow just got off of work a businesswoman in my business outfit and my gear got stuck out of all the videos yours truly truly did the job you helped me and you have no idea how much you just help me thank you so much keep doing what you’re doing man

4 yrs later and you saved my ASS. I was freaking out, but when I saw your video, it felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. Fixed it in under 5 minutes after heading to autozone. Thank you for including the part number🙌🏽

Thanks for posting this video . I had same problem . I had to show my mechanic the video he tried putting on the clear things till he watched your video. Are you supposed to use all the parts?

You didn’t mention those two clear pieces but I guess they go inside the orange pieces. Thanks for the video

I bought one of these and it worked for a couple months.. then it popped again at this point I'll rather replace the whole piece

Is that the rear? I have a buick rainier. My shifter did the same thing now I can't get it out of park.

Mine broke in Walmart parking lot ! 🤪 Watched your video and made it home to go pick up the part ! Thanks for sharing Brother ! GOD Bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻

U only use tge orange color part from the kit?

Great video. Clear and concise. 2004 Envoy and we used the Orange side like you did. The instructions do say clear side but the orange snapped right on.

So I don't need to use the clear pieces at all. Correct?

GM sucks. All the Trailblazers have the same issues and never a recall. Shift linkage held together with a plastic clip, blower motor resistors, electric fan clutch crapping out, defective hood seals dripping water onto coil, poorly designed sway bar end links, dash gauges failing. and on an on.

Thanks for the video. Have a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer. Got the Dorman item #14057 from Advanced Auto parts $14.49 +tax. Put the 2 orange pieces in just like he said. Snapped the pin right in. Eezy peezy. No tools needed.

I am totally confused, I bought the same kit. the orange ones are supposed to be for fords and the clear ones are for chevy's! but lets say this actually works. Here is another youtuber that also is using the wrong orange bushing but he is doing it totally different than yours??? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b0uyoUlVZjY.html

I can't find the bushing for my Escalade for *anything.* I got the replacements and none of the sizes fit.

Thanks for the video. Same thing happened to my 03 trailblazer. Appreciate ya

Thanks for the video, came up with the exact same problem with my isuzu ascender

I think the nomenclature is... Gromet ? Fastener/bushing? Hell ...I have no idea.

Them things are a POS pain in the ass even with c clamp like they said so then I tried pliers and ended up breaking my plastic piece smh don't bend it

Beautiful. Thanks for the help brother 👊🏽

Replaced my radiator then took it off ramps last night and the linkage popped off and now I gotta spend 14.95 4 a piece of plastic to keep this selector on " great.

Great job, a little note yo add sometimes the little nipple on the end of the shift shaft is worn and you have to weld a new nipple on so it dont fall off , weld and grind it to correct diameter. I like to do it anyways just for a better hold, nothing like getting stuck in your suit and tie and having to get under there and fish it back on lol

Thank you!! Now I know what I'll be doing Saturday Hehe.

Thank you only Only freaking video who explained where all this is that and that I have to get underneath the car thank you thank you

I did this and it still will not go into gear, it will if you push on the side of the gear shift, but not on its own.

Instructions said the yellow/orange bushings are for Fords and clear ones are for GM. Either way this is not a good repair kit. I had to modify one of the clear bushings to get it to slide inside the linkage

T.Y for this video. Ima have to do this today, myself!

I tried using the orange pieces from dorman 14057, but cable kept falling off. I do live in the rust belt and tip of transmission bracket/lever was rusted and worn. If you also deal with rust, I'd advise replacing the bracket, gm part#15251895. Also, the clear bushing from dorman #14055 looks exactly like the oem bushing and locks onto the groove of bracket tip.

Thanks for help dowg gracias amigo por ru ayuda

Thank you very much! I was able to fix my own SUV today!

@Amopro22 Do you know what the clear part is for that came in the package? Also, my bushing slipped off on its own. Not sure why...About to go under again and do the steps over. Any reason why its slipped off the pin (linkage)?

Thanks for this video! This happened to me and this was extremely helpful.

i did mine, but no snap. iIt came right back off, I'll try again today...

Hi , thank you for your video , what are the other " 2 Clear bushing" use for , I just purchased the kit and I'd like to know if there is use for somewhere or is just an extra part in case there are different models Your response will be appreciated

So theirs two parts, the two yellow clips or is there a clear clip too

You seem like a really chill dude

Thank you video, the repair works like a charm

My c4 has the same problem. Thx

What was the cost? Mine is doing that

Thanks for your help and your video and God bless you

Common with all GM’s happened to my dad’s 2002 Pontiac Sunfire, my mom’s 2014 Cadillac CTS, and my mom’s boyfriend’s 2005 Chevrolet Corvette

I bought the same kit an the damn bushing don't hold

Have a 2004 Envoy and the transmission doesn't shift to third gear, is this a full overhaul or maybe a shift solenoid that needs to be change any idea will help. Thanks

Thank you for sharing. I picked up a "Shift Linkage Bushing Kit" from Doorman but the number on it is 14055 which is a different number from years. It has a white piece that's like the orange one you put in the hole that clipped into the knobie and there is a clear one that looks like the white one but smaller..I have the 04 Envoy. Now I'm thinking maybe I got the wrong piece even tho it says it fits for a GM - SE Adapta and S Adapte.

I wish I would've found your video earlier. I returned that bushing kit and bought Dorman 14055 which was a like the original part.

I wonder if a person could JB Weld that bushing once you pop the new bushing on and JB Weld over the new bushing to lock it in place? I’ve heard a lot of people say those bushings break over so many months. Just a thought .

This happened to me back in 2018 (2003 Envoy) and ....I just wired it together lol still holding.

The auto parts store may have this part in an assortment kit. I have this vehicle, but I got creative (lazy) and removed the piece and reversed it back onto the shift lever pin. Prolly should replace it before the cold weather sets in. Know whattamean ...

Hi.. where do the clear parts go? Ty

Good lookin out homie. 👍🏾

i’m having a really hard time getting this piece to fit into my shift cable on my 02 envoy. even though it’s the right size, it doesn’t wanna go in. any tips?

Big help. Thank you!

Thanks bro! I got stuck in a mall plaza and had to go to advance auto & buy this for 18$ and come back and do it in the mall parking lot. U saved my life cuz I didn’t know what part to Buy!

Thank you

How long will this last

Thanks you save me $540

On vacation with the kids, parts store down the street. 30mins repair with picking up part. Saved trip!

Thanks 4 video

Muchas gracias por compartir tu video...Me sirvió bastante... Thanks for your video you save me a lot of money...sorry for my broken english

Great video I have a question once I made the reconnection I now have a new issue. I can now put the car in gear but when I try to put it back in park again the hand shifter is loose again and I have to get back under the truck to manually put it back in park with my hand and this allows the process to repeat itself. I can pull the shifter in gear but it's no tension/retraction for it to go back to park. Is there a way to tighten the linkage cable that's what I need to know. Your help would be greatly appreciated bud thanks 👍😎👌

thanks man for sharing

Thanks for the video fam

Nice work dude.

Great... just bought the same one and getting ready to put on
