Replacement shift cable end for 1996-2002 Saturn SL/SL2/SW/SW2 manual shifter
Description
Saturns Are Notorious For Having Issues With The Manual Shifter. Most Of These Problems Revolve Around A Little Rubber Cap That Holds The Shift Cable In Place. A Few Solutions Were Offered In The Aftermarket, Including A Steel Bushing That Was For Sale On Ebay For A While (And May Still Be). The Steel Bushing Corrected The Design Issue, But Introduced Another Issue. It Has A Tendency To Put So Much Torque On The Shift Cable That The Plastic End Of The Cable Breaks Off. This Is A Huge Problem, Because It Means Buying A $200+ Cable And Spending A Few Hours Installing It, Only To Have The Shift Cable End Pop Off Again. This Happened To Me A Few Years Ago, And I Decided To Re-Attach The Broken End By Drilling A Hole In The Steel Cable And Attaching The Old Cable End With A Bolt And Nut. (See Http://Www.Saturnfans.Com/Forums/Showthread.Php?T=122577 For The Original Discussion). This Fix Worked For 4 Years, Until The Shift Cable Failed At Another Place. After Replacing The Shift Cable, The End Popped Off Again. This Time, I Decided To Design And Print A Replacement. My Model Is Significantly Stronger Than The Original, And Seems To Improve The Feel Of The Shifter As Well.
