External Trans linkage failure

[Snowcamo]

All,

 

The linkage outside of the transmission has a green rubber or some type of material that has deteriorated. This causes the linkage to fall off the shifter at the transmission.

 

I have attached a pick of what I am speaking of. I do not plan to purchase a new cable from shifter to Trans if it cn be avoided. I'd like to see about finding the part # for the green peice I need to replace. 

 

Does anyone know of a parts diagram that has these parts in it?

probaly ream it out and machine an insert and add a retension clip to reuse what you got, otherwise might have to buy entire cable from gm

Honestly this is exactly what I was thinking. 

 

I'm looking at cutting it down the middle and sliding a c clip and washer on that should do.

ACE hardware or lowes has plastic sleeve bushings might work , easy to cut to size with utility knife and a drill bit, they have the clips too

I will check them out and see what I can come up with.

Found this replacement bushing online. So I am going to keep it simple. I'll post about the longevity as time goes.
