How to repair the gear linkage

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Transmission

Video tutorial

In this video, you will see how to repair a gear linkage that has become loose or broken. In this case, it is likely that the collar holding the two parts has simply broken, but the problem is that this component, for most car manufacturers, is not available as a spare part; you would have to buy the entire cable, which is quite expensive.

The YouTuber shows how to make the collar using a shock absorber bush and some washers, at a very low cost, starting from a rudimentary technical drawing. It is important to find something with exactly the same internal diameter; you need to be a bit creative.

You will also need some grease to lubricate the parts, create the right thickness with the washers, and secure it well.
