Supurcar Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I am wondering if anyone can help me discover what you would call this part, and where on earth to find it. My gear indicator on the sterring column (moves from park to "D" or "R" or "N" when shifted) has broken a little cable inside. I took it apart and there is a small braided cable that wraps around the thing and thru a gear which moves the red arrow so you can tell what gear you are in. I might be able to fabricate something, but I was hoping someone in here already had the solution and what in the world I ask for when trying to order a replacement cable. Thanks!!!

Supurcar Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Well I had some nylon strapping string and I carefully tied it on the dial nub (for lack of a better name for it), and ran it thru the column and tied it off. There was some slack at first, but I put it thru the gears slowly and kind of tapped the shifter and it actually sinched up the knot enough to work. Thanks for the suggestions, it appears to working now, every once in a while I have to nudge the shift lever to get the pointer to line up perfectly but it is a lot better than nothing.
