Woke up the other morning and proceeded to put van (buick terraza) in gear and it was like something was loose. After researching and asking questions to a mechanic friend I learned that the shift cable was the culprit. Caleb the dealership and to my amazement and surprise they had the cable for purchase...it was $75. Ok..no problem right? Wrong! I was told that I would not be able to install myself and that if they were to repair it the cost would be $400!! Well the way my bank account is set up it goes to other bills and $400 was nowhere to be found. So I prayed and asked God for some guidance. And so I found a video on YouTube about how to replace the bushing in a vehicle similar to the make and model of mine. Long story short, I ordered the bushing, and had the van ready in less than 15 minutes. It would have taken 10 but I dropped a screw and it took me 5 minutes to find. So far so good. Just what I needed!

At least in the future if i need to fix another shift bushing (doubtful as my vehicle as like 200k miles on it and this was the first repair) i have a nifty tool so i can buy the $11 phonelic bushing from o'reillys... $19 plastic tool..... worked tho

easy to install ,great directions. 15 min. a little bit pricey for a piece of plastic

When my wife frantically called me at work and told me that her gear shifter "Just went straight down when I tried to go in reverse", I went on the net and watched a YouTube video on how to fix it. The video was promoting the Bushingfix.com product and it looked easy enough to me to fix so I ordered one. It arrived a few days later and 15 minutes after opening the package, my wife's van was back in action! Couldn't have been easier!

Sacared me it went together so easily and quickly. Open hood, twist 4 screws (2-stainless clamps and 2-bracket screws) , Pull the cable where you can clean out broken parts, fit tool over cable end, put in bushing, put installer pin in hole of tool, squeeze edges of tool together till bushing face flush, remove both parts of tool, snap onto transmission shift linkage pin, fasten brace back, put air tube back with clamps, go back inside van, work the shift handle a couple of times to see that it stays on, close hood, sit back and think of the new tools you Can buy with the money saved! Part should be cheaper gets the job done less than the price of the cable alone.

Very easy to install. I think my wife could have watched the video and fixed it. Much easier and less expensive than changing the entire shifter cable. I think total time for the repair was about 20 minutes. Would have been a little faster if my 6 year old wasn't helping.
