Default Automatic transmission cable clip

2003 Corvette automatic transmission floats from park to any gear but doesnt click into any of them. This same thing about a year ago, I replaced the plastic bushing at one end of cable now the clip at the other end is broken. How to replace it. Any suggestions?

The transmission end is the one broken now? Should be the same type of nylon grommet to replace. As long as the plastic housing on the cable isn't broken...

I replaced my entire cable a few weeks back. IIRC, in order to get to the trans end of the cable you will need to remove the intermediate exhaust. I'm not sure there is enough room otherwise. The cable is held by a clip that bolts to the trans with two bolts. You will need to remove the bottom bolt and loosen the top bolt. From there, the clip should slide down (top part of clip isn't a through hole, but a U channel). Replace grommet and reverse.

You do mention "clip at the other end". If it is indeed the cable housing, you'll need to replace the entire cable...
