I need some info on the trans shifter cable in my 2000 silverado ,
I was cutting an old bolt of my frame with a grinder/ cut off wheel , the grinder kicked back and put a good cut into my shift cable .

I searched and believe I need the part # 12477640 .

My question is , is my cable a two piece part ? Do I need the whole cable or just the part from the column to the " adjustment section " under the body near the frame ?

The cable that connects from the trans linkage to the " adjustment section" is fine , does it come apart there ?

If it's just as easy I can replace the whole cable I guess .

And where is the best place to get one ? Best I've found is about 78$ on amazon .

 

It does come apart at the adjustment part. You should be able to buy half. I got one for cheap at a scrap yard a couple years ago, can't remember what I paid though.

 

Thanks bud ! , I actually saw your post on that , helped me find out it was two pieces . I just need to get the part number for the half I need , unless it's easier to order and setup new cable .

 

If you can get away with the portion under the truck, you will be much better off. The portion under the dash is sort of a pain to replace.

 

FML that's the piece I need , from under dash to the connection under the cab floor by the frame

 

i bought mine at the local salvage yard and only did the section under the truck

 

It's not that bad. Just cramped under there. You have to disconnect it from the shift lever, and I think there's a bracket it's attached to also. Then pull up the carpet and remove the grommet from the floor board.

 

Thanks , yup I already did all that , just waiting to check Monday to see if just half of the cable is available or if I need to buy the whole thing , what's left is in real nice shape

 

#12477640 - it contains both halves because they changed the design some time back.
