My 2005 Saturn Vue was like a bad workout trying to change gears. I went to youtube to see what others have done to fix the hard saturn shift. The person was offered to replace this part. I did exactly that, unscrewing the center console pieces took longer but unfortunately it turned out to be the cable itself which I was looking to replace at the local garage. But I would honestly say if you have the same problem with a hard chauffeur replace it first, $30 is cheaper than the $500 it costs to replace the cord.
