Transmission Shifting Cable Chevy Cavalier 1998

08/19/2012 5:30 PM

Hello all,

I have a 1998 2.2L Chevy Cavalier. Yesterday the cable that goes from the shifter to the transmission came loose off the transmission.

I have been told by a friend who says he has done this that all I need to do is use a spot of JB Weld and put the cable back on I just would like to know if anyone has done this?

Thanks to all and

GOD Bless you and your families

Kenneth

Not an endorsement:

Maybe this:4T40E Shifter Cable Repair Pin [SRK-103] - $15.95 : ATFSPEED ...

$15.95

ATF's 4T40E shifter cable repair kit is just what to need to get back on the road while saving time and money.

This may do it for you.

Unless you know what/where the failure point is and the nature of the failure, I would think it is a little early to say if JB Weld would work or not.

Even if you can cobble it back together, a new cable on Amazon is $43.00. Getting stuck again at night in a bad neighborhood in Miami - priceless.
