I have a PDF file on how to fix the shifter. It's on my hard drive...if you send me an email address I'll send it to you.

So this would for sure be a bushing issue, correct?

Not necessarily; the cable itself might have broke, but is less likely.

I believe the front bushing is the most likely to break first. They can be had for a few bucks.

However, you might want to replace the entire cable. The OEM is around $50, then you have new bushings both ends and a new cable for not a lot of money.

For a couple months now my shifter kept getting stuck in park. I had to really hard hold the shifter down to guide it to the gears. It finally gave up. It has to be the bushing after hearing that, right?
