Shifter Bushing Help
I am helping a buddy replace the shifter bushing on his 2009 auto. I have done 2 of these before, but this one is stubborn. I have the bushing in the cable, but can't get it to snap onto the shifter. I don't want to break his cable, any tips or tools that you guys have used to help?
I'm using the Dorman 14041 bushing.
Thanks

I used a different bushing on my 2010. USA Trans Cable shift bushing. ( https://www.ebay.com/itm/122450072485 ) I had both the Dorman and this bushing available but thought the quality of the USA ATSB was much better. But, I used the side of the tunnel as leverage to push the bushing into place.

Might want to run back to your local auto parts store and pickup the Dorman 14055 bushing kit. The information I have picked up from the forum is that one contains the proper bushing for fit & function.
Good luck...GD

I am just afraid of damaging the cable since it is not my car. I did my c5 and c6, but this one is stubborn. Maybe I need to put more force on it or use a different set of pliers.
