Repairing the Automatic Gear Shift Lever

Model: Dodge Caliber MK 1 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Transmission

If you experience issues with gear selection in the automatic gearbox, one possible cause may be the failure of a plastic bush attached to the gear shift cables: to carry out this repair, you need to dismantle the front part of the centre console, just below the gear shift lever; start by unclipping the trim that is directly beneath the lever to access the screws securing the side trim panels; once the front cover of the tunnel is removed, you can access the cable housing and proceed with replacing the plastic bush.
