NEED HELP Stuck at boat ramp

[Robbabob]

Gear shifter moves, but indicater doesn't. Switched to 4hi to get out of water, drove out fine. Put it in park to close the gate. Put it in 2wd, transfer indicated it worked, but now it won't gi into gear.

Feel free to call if there is a quick fix.

Thanks!
Robb

Check your shift linkage cable at the transmission

 

[Robbabob]

Yo, that is the problem. Tow truck had to lift the truck enough to reach the trans lever to get it into neutral. I am way too big to get under there.

Still may need other parts, but we'll start there when we finish vacation; or my wife's son will start sooner.

Thank you!

Guess the clip is not sold separately from the cable. Guy at O'Reilly says he sold items that will work. We'll see soon.

Dorman 14055 will have the correct bushing.

Got mine at oriellys when it broke dude knew exactly what I needed lol.

 

[Robbabob]

Awesome Mounce! I am on my mobile and was going to search when I got home from Riverbend. I knew I saw a topic at one time with a simple solution.

Appreciate the reply.

Funny enough I broke the bushing on the voy putting the boat back on the side of the house. Kit @Mounce Said is the one. Have fun.

It's not an awful job if you can get to it. I was barely able to get far enough under it to replace it. It's a tight squeeze getting it in there, I had to use a pocket screw driver to nurse it home in the linkage but it's been fine ever since. Over 6 months with no issue, I did however buy a second one to keep in the vehicle at all times though. One of those simple things that will ruin your day unless you think ahead and have one on hand.

That is covered in this video

Tell me this is not as complicated as i feared. I purchased the Dorman bushing (2 pieces in the container) at lunch, a whopping $12, so I don't know what's missing. Washers, shoulder bolt, anything?

Seems too quick and easy....

 

[Mounce]

Just about as easy as it looks. You'll use the smaller bushing. Remove old bushing remnants and squeeze new one in the linkage then it snaps back on to the shift lever.

 

[Robbabob]

The new bushing wants to just collapse before it will get through the ID. Can I put it onto the shift lever first to keep it rigid, or will that prevent it (the cable) from going on?

edit: added clarification of the cable.

Edit #2: It's fixed! 100%. easier for me to slide the bushing over the shift lever, and then press the cable over the bushing. In neutral, the TC shifted back into 2HI.

Thanks for all the help!!!!!

I had same issue. That's where the pocket screw driver came in to play on mine.
