Where to find the string / wire that works the shift indicator on auto trans?

[Eric M.]

Anyone know where I can find that string / wire thing with the clip that works the shift indicator on column of auto trans. trucks?

I know I've seen them before, I thought it Was LMC or Chevy Duty, but neither have it.

Thanks,

Eric M.

yeah from a parts truck is about the only way if gm cant get them

i always aave good ones form parts rigs,

they are worth their weight in gold

never toss them out

i am always needing one on rigs i buy because alot of times they are broken and im donw to my last good one now for the 77 because it is broken in it

save them all, someone could use them


good luck

should still be available through your local GM dealer. if memory serves me correctly, they're about $10

make one!..

I used a peice of bicycle brake cable and those "wire stop" clamps to make a home brewed one that worked ok..but a junkyard should have a few..

they are a pocket item in the yards

all you need is the cable, not the plate or anything else

hell ive "pocketed" an entire instrument cluster before,

i dont believe in giving certain money hungry yards more money than they deserve,

so..


good luck

I was at GM today - they still have them. I ordered up a pair. $16.31 ea. here in CA.

Anybody got one? the string broke on mine...I attempted to use a guitar string but it doesn't work well...when moving farther right it pulls the orangeindicator out of its track and it gets stuck.
