H2 Shifter cable broken @#%&

[Hummeron37s]

I fixed mine in the driveway. It took about a hour and the cable was like $40-$50. Easy job. It is probally the plastic clip that attaches to the tranny that broke.

The is really simple, about a 2 out of 10 in difficulty. I took pictures along the way and will post step by step how to fix the problem Monday. In the mean time the vice grips worked like a champ. I bought the cable, but did not feel like fooling with it for some time so i lazily kept the vice grips on for about 3 weeks. Granted I had an extra set in the truck just in case, but I would certainly deep the vice grip method to be a good patch until the cable comes in(not normally stocked).

I will agree, it is very frustrating that .03 plastic retainer deal causes failure which leaves your vehicle immobilized.

Thats a first for me i guess i should look into checking mine out to prevent this from happening

we will have to wait for Monday to see if they have the cable or can get it. I am about 200 miles away and my wife left it with a chevy dealer in Tampa

can just the clip be replaced or does the whole cable have to be changed??

How many miles on your H2?

Dealer has to overnight part, looks like parts and labor will run about $380.00
