This is just what i needed. My S10 stopped one day ideling. and i could not get it to start. The only thing i would hear was a clicking sound when turnng the key to on. I had the issue with not being able to go into P. So following your video and got it adjusted and now the car will turn over, just need a battery. This could had saved me from, replacing the Fuel pump, distibutor cap, and many other parts!!! .Thank you very much.
Thank you so much Matt Plan for this upload. Had I not found it, I'd've bought a new cable, discovered the adjustment locking wedge, then return the new cable (if I didn't destroy the old one in removal that is). Sidenote, I had/have no horseshoe, so I just tried the white adjustment locking wedge, & it worked. Again, thanks.
Thanks for helping me to get started. Cleaning the dirt out from around the white clip helps. Sprayed some WD 40. On the back side of the white clip you have to squeeze in a couple tabs to get it moving. Also remove the metal shield so cable can be pulled back. Half hour researching, half hour looking it over and cleaning up and then another half hour doing it. Done, Feels good man. Thx again
just wanted to say that this video was awesome. I couldn't find how to adjust my shift cable for my blazer anywhere and the s10 and older blazers have the same trans therefore they have the same shifter cable mech. I couldn't get it into park and couldn't find ANYTHING showing me how to adjust it. after watching this video It took me 5 minutes and it is now working properly. kudos to you!
Been so frustrated ebt man ur close up view of where to put what on which side of the U shoukd be the game changer that ends this friggin nightmare. Can’t wait to get started on morning . Thank you Matt!
Had the exact same problem happen to me just a couple days ago it took me damn near 20 minutes of scrolling to find this video but I did what you said and I'll be damned but it fixed it🤣
@@anthonymaniz1933 yes and no .Off oxygen but on the cusp of going back on. Plus I'm homeless so that really complicates things. But thank you for asking.
This worked for me after I figured it out a bit. Now it's real quick. One thing to note is you actually don't have to do most of the steps in this video. Just pry out the white clip he says only comes half way out. Then slide in or out the black shaft with a spring around it that goes through this clip. Then push the clip back in. The horseshoe clip is only if you're replacing the cable. Also, if the other clip does come all the way out it's fine. It only fits one way though, just look to see.
On mine the white horseshoe clip had tabs holding it in the back so it wasn't going to be pryed out until those were squeezed in and pushed down a little. It is a 2003.
Thanks , this was helpful. Most of the ls swap stuff is using aftermarket shifters and cables. I opted for 2nd gen blazer in a 1st gen sonoma. Trying to stay away from the racecar look
Seriously, as needed as this is, it would be much better if you showed us how to do it. I watched it twice and have no idea what two tabs you are talking about.
Thanks for posting. Just wished I would have seen it before I ran a new cable and found out it doesnt fit. By the way 2003 sonoma part number 15189200 unavailable anywhere ibcluding bone yards. But the replacement they will tell you fits on autozone and others. CA-1194 Does not fit at all at the top. Lesson learned.
great video was mine also adjusted 3ur4 times still no luck so replaced cable now all works perfect ,also for others there was no sign it was bad even when taken out just would not go out far enough to go into park ,also the old one works well just messed up inside the casing somewhere??? but as said new one is perfect ps.that clip can be a bear to get loose or pull out and adjust advise to clean it good w/wd40 or equal to slide easy
So I did this adjustment then, pulled the cable and went to shift gears and trans got stuck in Drive, the cable disintegrated and broke apart. Any of you having to adjust the cable on a 20 year old Blazer/Jimmy, best to just get a new one. Mine is on order. The cable takes alot of abuse being pushed into Park.
my buddy has a 2000 Blazer and he said he needs a clip that locks the cable end onto the trans linkage, but I can't find a clip online anywhere. Is there a clip, or is it just a bushing in the end of the cable that the linkage snaps into?
Sara Richter what gear did you leave your shifter inside the truck while doing this? I seem to get drive and Nuturel if I it in park. ..but only reverse and Nuturel if I leave it in Nuturel
Remove the metal tab I mean plastic tab it only comes halfway out ohh remove the metal tab I mean plastic tab you don't have to take it all the way out only halfway it's not metal it's plastic sorry. Jesus just do it bc youre not describing it very well sorry to say. Oh it's a plastic tab
