Damn, I wonder if that's my problem. I can't get manually into 1st no matter how I adjust the shifter cable. If I can get it into 1st, than I cant get it into park. Hmm.

with the bracket that faced out park was real sloppy, sometimes i couldnt get the key out unless i pushed my shifter up more

with the new bracket its like butter all the way through. bracket was like 8 bucks from the dealer

Same bracket I have on mine.

Awesome. I have that same problem with park, once and a while I have to jiggle it to get the key out. Thanks for the help!

yea i just swapped my bracket and all was good, the PN i posted is cheap from GM

How did you re-program your PCM? I am gathering all the details for a 4L80E swap into my 2006 suburban and I am trying to figure out how difficult is it going to be to re-program my PCM.

Thanks,

simple

using HP tuners. i read off my stock file, found a matching file on the HPT forums that uses 4l80e sent it to them and they made me a tune

I still cant get my truck manually into first. The bracket I bought was the same one I already had. Ive tried adjusting my cable many times. I had to put a new Neutral Saftey switch on, which tells the trans what gear you are in from what I understand. I think i screwed it up when putting it on by not having it in neutral like it said (whoops). Could this be why i cant get it to stay in first? Sometimes I can jam it down and when I take off its in first but then quickly shifts to 2nd. I cant downshift into first and the cluster rarely will read 1st.

That is strange, very well could be
