Shift linkage blues..99 SW2
 

Coming home on the freeway this afternoon, shifted from 3rd to 4th, or rather tried to shift from 3 to 4...all of a sudden just air on the other end of the stick shift....

Hmmmm ... an air-shifter, you say? Sounds like a trip to the U-Pull-It yards is in your future.......

Shift cables.

I believe you...big job to replace them? I'm not mechanically inclined, had the car towed to a very reputable shop nearby...I've put 35 thousand on it since I bought it last year, with basic maintenance and a set of tires being the only costs other than gas....I figure I'm stil 'WAY ahead of the game....

shifter bushing failure caused by shift cable stretchage

get used saturn shifter cables -- aftermarket ones seem to suck

The guy that's doing the work used to work for Saturn...I'll touch base with him and make sure that's what's going to happen...thanks for the info...
