So after work you go to your car, the same car you drove in the morning without incident. You are tired and ready to go home. You start the car, step on the brake pedal and shift the gear stick, but the transmission does not engage. At first you thought, oh no, money. But then you see that the transmission is still in park. They move up and down the column several times. Still no joy. But you notice that the resistance at the shifter is less than normal and you realize it must be the linkage and not the transmission. In addition, there is no emergency light; Good sign. So you're wondering if the shifter cable snapped. Probably not because you didn't feel the click and cables don't break that often. You realize that the problem is likely a loose connection to either the shifter itself or the shifter (the little "L" sticking out of the gearbox). Probably the latter, but you're in the car, so pull up on the derailleur housing and look at the cable as you shift. It moves with the derailleur, so the problem must be in the gearbox. You open the hood and look behind and under the air intake (power) and sure enough the end of the shift cable came loose from the shifter. You put it on long enough to get home and once you get home you put it back on (the engine is now off) just long enough to park the car. It's an easy fix, maybe $100 at your local store, right? Not correct. Because most automakers don't make replacement bearings for these units. The bearing is all that's worn, just a small piece of plastic that holds the cable to the shifter and pivots in the housing at the end of the cable, allowing the shifter to move in an arc. As it turns out, your favorite car company and dealership will likely want to replace the entire cable assembly, a $500-$600 job. There has to be a better way, and thanks to a little company called BearingFix (I found out) there is. . With this small detail, you can easily carry out repairs in 5 minutes. It's even easier than most YouTube videos as you don't have to remove the air intake/cleaner to do this (at least on my car). It was so easy on my 2008 Chrysler I couldn't believe it. Of course, $30 (shipping included) is a lot for a small piece of plastic and a plastic installer, and this thing is going to take a few days to ship. for you, but it's way better than towing and a $600 repair bill. The installation guide is simple and clear!
