Automatic transmisson cable "Blues"
Have not posted anything in sometime but felt the need to now. The wife and I take several trips in our 2004 bone stock spirile grey automatic corvette. We were headed to the new grammy museum in Cleveland Ms after arriving and enjoying the exibits headed out to continue trip to Clarksdale Ms to the blues museum. Started vette shifted to reverse nothing, shifter not connected to any thing.One hundred twenty five miles from home and dead in the water,not a good feeling. The wife got on phone looked up local Chevy dealer gave them a call, service manager said no problem sent roll back out. Determined trans cable was indeed broke did not have one in stock but could have one the next morning.Well we had no car so they took us to nice hotel and picked us up the next morning after car was repaired.
Not sure if I can give their name out but Kossmans Chevrolet of Cleveland Ms went above and beyond to help us out plus the repair bill was not out of line either.
Can not wait for our next planned adventure, love the forum here

the options are very few. I'm sure they used the "book" but, could not of been cheap.
P.S. Broke my trans cable, called a transmission shop....Picked up the Vette on a flat bed, fixed it in one day and charged me $200. (Gold Coast Transmissions)
I felt that was reasonable.

Not wanting to start a price war,just stating very reasonable for small town in Mississippi.As Runner140* said his was 200 dollars mine was less than 500 dollars I never thought about transmission shop.

I guess I got lucky. My wife had taken our to a store about 3 miles from the house. When She came out it was broke. I went down there and dissembled the console in the parking lot and was able to reach down and grab the end of the cable and pull it into gear. I drove it home and went straight to the dealer and got a new $80 cable. A few hours later I had it all back together and on the road.
