I just changed mine. The plastic/rubber feeling bushing snaps in the cable fitting then you push it on the pin. Easy fix if your center console will come all the way out.

I am not understanding how this works, where the pin graps and what holds the other end in.


I believe the brass bushing presses on like the plastic one would, then you press on the TC linkage, the put the hitch pin on.  I think there is a lip that holds the hitch pin from pushing off.  Another option would be to drill a small hole and insert the hitch pin through the hold or safety wire the hitch pin to the bushing.

easy fix until it breaks again.  Then a total pain to deal with...remember where yours broke.

I know Doug remembers where his broke :)

Mine broke at the absolutely very best place in the world one could fail.

I've kept a spare one in my Jeep since I had my '09 Rubi.  I had one break during the first ride I ever took with GATR back in '09.  I fixed it on the trail with a tie wrap until I got a new one.

And a preemptive STFU for an TJ/LJ/CJ guys.
Feel the love.
After dealing with the stock stuff, AW4 swap, 241OR swap and a extreme belly up on the white TJ I finally went to a cable shifter setup. I did the cable swap ASAP on the LJ.
I don't see why your idea won't work.

As I understand it, the new bushings MOPAR sells have been redesigned using a better, non brittle material. I never had a failure on mine and when I just had the trans replaced they replaced the bushings at that time too.
