2002 C5 Auto Shifter Linkage broken
Just had the flexplate replaced, which involved removing the rear end.
Now, the transmission side linkage adjuster clip keeps popping out.-- so i have a couple questions:
1. Can you buy just plastic assembly w/o the whole cable, if so, part number/source?
2. In the attached photo (just an internet photo, not mine), one shows a red plastic thing that would appear to hold the adjusment clip down. The top one doesn't. Mine looks like the top -- the adjustment clip only, no red thing holding it down. Is it supposed to have that red thing?
Basically -- the adjustment works correctly, but after moving the gear shift through all the positions, the square clip has popped back out.
the little plastic ring at the front side of the linkage assembly is loose on mine, obviously shouldn't be -- it just slides up the cable. (circled on the other attachment)

That happened to me in the dead of night on my '04. All of the sudden - gears gone, reverse only. I was cursing the Chevy engineers, I'll tell ya. I bought the whole cable for $120 and paid a mechanic a C-note.

The hard rubber bushing is missing from the end of the top cable in the picture. You need a set of bushings (Dorman Help 14057).
As for the red piece, that is just there for shipping of the new part.
