On the way home the other day all of the sudden the shifter is dead won't change gears. Short version it was stuck inn first so I was able to limp it home about a mile or so. So some inspections at both ends of the shifter cable reveal one of the shift cables is off the mount on the transmission. Push it on but it pulls off way to easy.
So it appears the answer is to order the shift cable assembly.
26"X29" Box.
To replace the cable requires dropping the exhaust and removing the heat shield, removing the air cleaner assembly, the battery tray assembly, various brackets and trim pieces.
Or just pry the bushing out of the new cables and snap in place.
Interestingly the there are aftermarket replacements for the other cable end in the picture and kits for the automatic.
What a waste to ship a part that large for a 1"X3/4" part not to mention cost and time savings to repair.
