2004 Saturn Vue with 4 cylinder engine and 5 speed manual transmission.
The bushing is known to wear out over time causing looseness in the shifter or making it harder to put into gear.
1. Make sure you note how much of or how many threads on the cable end are sticking out before removing the old one. You can see through the little "window" on the piece.
2. If you find a bunch of graphite looking stuff at the base of the shifter then you also need new cables. This may get you going again in a pinch but if the graphite shavings are all over the base of the shifter mount right underneath the cable/s then you need the cable set also.

Worked perfectly and fixed our car!

Arrived quickly and exactly as described!

My 2005 Saturn Vue was like a workout gone wrong when trying to shift. I went on Youtube to try to see what others have done to remedy the Saturn hard shift. To a person, they suggested replacing this part. I did, it took longer to undo the center console parts, but alas, it turned out to be the cable itself, which i decided was best replaced by the local garage. But I would honestly say, if you have the same hard shofter issue, replace this first, $30 bucks is cheaper than the $500 it cost to replace the cable

Fits as expected
