transmission shift lever

[pamoffa]

Has anybody here removed the shift cable from the transmission shift lever, Im asking this because mine fell off the other day and stranded me. I'm wondering if it is a clip that came off. I ordered a new lever just waiting for it and hopeing it comes with a clip. I took the lever off today and the stud is pretty corroded. I can't believe what the road salt here in massachusetts is doing to my 2003

There isn't a clip that holds it on. It just pops on and off. The plastic in the end of the cable may be stretched. Might be time for a new cable.

Ok, thanks for the reply. I guess I have to hope the new lever fits tight.

I just realized I didn't post an update to the situation. It is a 2003 silverado 5.3. I ended up taking the shift lever off cleaning it up painting it drilling about a 1/8 hole through the stud and used a stainless bolt and 2 lock nuts and used a nickle as a washer. my issue was the shift cable was worn I think ( its been a while) the plastic clip was worn or broken so I didn't want to replace the shift cable. the repair seems solid and so far no issue. thanks for the info above
