Shifter cable bushing gone. New one or zip tie?

[olliec420]

First under carriage inspection. My neighbor has a lift and I put up the 09 today and started checking everything out. The shift cable was just hanging on as you can see below. A doorman new bushing is $19 and they have it at oriley, BUT I have a zip tie right here for free. Is there any real benefit to the rubber bushing?

i used a steel washer and a steel twist tie it only cost a few pennies....
for the last 10k miles far superior to what gm offers or the parts store...


Yes i shift it a lot too from drive to m4 very frequently..(to manually restart the engine otherwise there is a high chance of stalling out)

just keep a spare in the rig

I heard that. I'll make it work.

E Clips Circlip C Clip Retaining Clips might also work (i suspect this is why it keeps popping off ) because it deteriorated and broke off as it has a grove for it
