Shifter bushing came loose?? Car seems stuck in neutral
anyone know how to replace a shifter bushing?
mine just fell off tonight. after short drive, i went to park and when putting the gear shifter into Park, I heard a slight clunk sound from below the gear shifter and then found this shifter bushing underneath my car....
any insights would be appreciated. i found this parts diagram and can see where this bushing holds together the shift linkage to the actual shifting rod. so am hoping its easy to just snap back in assuming no other connector parts are missing. thx a bunch

guess there is a 1st for everything - will put the car on the jacks tomorrow and give a go at replacing the shifter bearing and share any feedback about the job assuming i am successful
trans shifting rod that needs to connect the little silver peg into to the slot in the shifter bushing sitting inside the shifter linkage <br/>
got the car on jacks and can see how the trans shifting rod came loose from the shifter linkage because the bushing was degraded... should be an easy fix. if you start hearing a metallic sound while shifting that is a sign your shifter bushing has degraded and you may run into this same situation.
the shifter bushing is #2039920010 and 3 bucks. you need the clip that holds it on also #0009945060 also 3 bucks. cheap to fix. car will start but not move when this happens
If the clip is number 19 in that llink you posted, it looks like those type of ones that are the c style clip. You would need to squeeze it a bit if you mention its too big ut before you do, there should be a grooved slot on the rod section where this would basically be tapped or pushed by finger over. Thats the type of clip it looks like unless your grooved section is what gave way and hence the clip cannot go over. Or you have not pushed the rod far enough to see the groove on the other side for this clip
thanks Khan, much appreciated. i need to play around with that clamp a bit more. the trans connect rod peg that goes into shifter linkage seems to have a very small slot that the c clamp probably has to attach to.
will try again..i have a tiny hose clamp on it right now which is some how holding in place temporarily until i figure this out.
If you need a pic of the C-clip that you are missing, let me know. I just had this issue with my gf's car. I couldn't find it for sale anywhere though!

thanks Khan... your description exactly describes what i found in this photo of the C clamp secured to the trans connect rod and shifter linkage which Rudy C sent me.... will try to put this sucker on tonight. thx a bunch
C-clip is back on holding the shifter linkage to the trans connect rod. i cannot believe this thing actually holds these pieces together and with out it you cannot shift your car from D to P to R.... all good again!
I have no clue Morphh!! it was a pain to get the damn clip back on and how it popped off I will never know... its back on and car drives like a beast after the SRT6 motor swap. kept my supercharger and evertyhing looks same as i had it with the exception of adding the Needswings Pulley saver kit which ive been impressed with how it eliminates belt slip.
its not a huge difference, but prior to the PSK i would occasionally see 18psi boost with my 178mm pulley. the PSK added and its consistently over 19 to 19.5psi with that little bit more belt wrap that the PSK provides (thats what im assuming is giving more boost as all my mods remained the same as pre-swap).
i've actually forgotten how to best launch the car and just spin the tires all the way through 3rd gear before the Pilot Sports hook up. ha.
Does anybody know the OEM part number of the "C-Style" lock clip that holds the shifter to the rod? I replaced my shifter and the clip fell off after a week. And I can not find the part online. Thanks.

I think what you're looking for is the little metal clip in this video correct?
You can fix this yourself.... Jack up the front end nice and high and be patient while you slide your hand in that tight space to clip it on. I dropped it like 5 times before finally getting the clip on correctly and tugged it several times to ensure it wouldn’t come off.
Crazy that a 2 buck tiny piece of metal can render your car undriveable!!!! Good luck
