Just a quick video showing how I replaced the Automatic Transmission Shift Cable Bushing that holds the cable on the stud for the Gear Selector. The owner was stranded in a parking lot and the car wouldn't go into gear. He said that when he shifted to park the vehicle kept rolling after he took his foot off the brake. He ended up stopping against the curb, so it may have still been in drive, not park as I had mentioned.
What I didn't tell you in the video, is that I had recently replaced a bent lower control arm on the driver's side and in order to do that job, I had to lower the subframe a little and lift the engine and transmission a little in order to get out one of the bolts. This is what probably caused the worn out shift cable bushing to come off (or moved it enough to come off a few days later) since it was probably stressed or moved a little too much for the old crumbly bushing. The bushings do get old and wear out or come apart, and it seems to be a common problem for this particular vehicle even without me doing that work that probably caused this to happen. I let the owner know all of this and I didn't charge him for this quick and easy fix. If you recently had your lower control arm replaced or any work that would cause your engine to be lifted up and your corolla will not shift gears, it's possible that you have this same problem.
Sorry if the audio levels are off a little, I only had my iPhone on me to record this one.
Thanks for watching!
