How to Replace Gear Shift Cable Grommet (common problem) On A 2008 Nissan Frontier
Vložit
- čas přidán 15. 08. 2024
- A very common problem I come across in a lot of cars, most of the times dealers will tell you to replace the whole gear shift cable but usually it’s just the grommet that’s went bad, and luckily easily replaceable.

Thank you for putting this video out. I have a 2005 Xterra and, one morning, it stopped going into gear. I opened up the gear shifter area and, like you said, the grommet was gone. I ordered one and it fixed the problem. I appreciate you sharing this with everyone!
Hey, Roy. I had this problem at work today with my 2010 Frontier, and my girlfriend was able to stop by a parts store to get a grommet and came by the job and it took us about an hour to fix it. Hardest part was certainly getting the grommet into that loop, and then fitting the loop back on the shifter - those two things took the most time. Anyway, big time money saver so I am very grateful for you and your video. Big thanks!
Thanks for watching 👍👍👍

Amazing to see how easy this is! At first i thought i was looking at a major transmission repair.
You sir saved my day AND my wallet!!! 2007 Pathfinder and this happened while I was pulling my pontoon boat to the lake! Due to your video I was able to get it apart and hold the cable on with my finger to get it back home. Will be ordering the kit today. THANK YOU! You now have one more subscriber.
Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thank you Mr. Roy,... I put mine in reverse, backed out, put it in forward and it kept backing up, couldn't get it to park either, frantic, I cut the truck off, and it wouldn't crank, found your video on google, after figuring it might be the shift cable, and your video makes it easily doable,.. Thanks again!
Thank you Roy … I now able to repair my Nissan Pathfinder 2008, a lot of time and money will be saved by following your video.
Thank you very much and wish you all the best
Good job . I have a 2011 pathfinder that had a bad solenoid and relay. When I pulled the cable off the grommet was toast. The plastic is different but the linkage is about the same. This helped alot.
Thank you so much for this video! My father used it to replace the grommet, which saved us tons of money we thought we'd have to spend on the transmission. Such helpful step-by-step instructions. Again, thank you so much!
Xavier Puente.Perfect description ,thank you so much for your help.I fixed my truck.you are 5**** stars
Thanks man. My Frontier left me walkin last night. This is the fix I needed to get back on the road.
I’m glad I could help, thanks for watching!
Super helpful video was able to fix it in less than 45 minutes. biggest issue was losing the grommet under the shifter and the tool breaking. luckily a flathead did the trick. big thank you!
I was looking in my garage for a tool (cotter pin tool) to remove the shifter cover when I tripped over my laminate flooring wedge! I worked perfect. I knew there was a reason I left that on the floor a few years ago!
This is also an exact tutorial for a 2012 suzuki equator, thanks for the video, you saved me a 20 mile tow amd a ton of money.
Thanks for posting this up. Mine wouldn't go into gear the other day so I ripped it apart and was driving around the past few days pulling the cable by hand. Looks like I can buy the grommet and knock it out in a few minutes! Thanks!
Glad I could help, thanks for watching!
So me today! Glad to know i don't have to spend 40+ dollars on a cable just to get the grommet. My gf literally jinxed me complaining about me shifting so fast lol. Ill be back at it again soon thasos to this video
It works 👍🏾 👌 thanks!
SAME!!! Was so proud of myself for figuring all this out by myself in a couple hours and now looks like I’ll even be able to do the repair job myself as well!! So grateful to find this video!

.I just need a grommet but the dealer tells me that I have to buy -a whole cable @ over 300 dollars
Thanks so much Roy!! Literally after a few days of buying a used Frontier, I got stuck on Park!😱 Was freaking out bad till I saw your video and learned to fix it! Used a metal wire for now till I get the bushing:)
Mahalo Roy! Fixed mine today and took about an hour (most time was for me to get my fat fingers through the small space under the shifter to get it lined up on the shifter's pin). Ended up pulling the shifter cable out further so that I could see it better from the top and line it up that way.
Thanks again, you saved me a ton of money!
.I just need a grommet but the dealer tells me that I have to buy -a whole cable @ over 300 dollars- worst yet, they have to order it and it will take 6 weeks
@@asiba2 Amazon had mine for about $32...ordered it on a Tues night, got it Friday, installed Saturday.
Thank you- fixed my 2007 pathfinder- Aloha from Texas!
This might have just saved me big time on my 07 frontier. My shifter went loose and I thought I was gonna have to do some major work on it, but this is such a simple fix.
Thank you for this video, Roy. Followed step by step and replaced the bushing on our 2005 Nissan Frontier.
I'll be home for Christmas! Christmas Eve 2021, I couldn't start my 2014 Navara D40. My gear was stuck in Reverse. Watched your video and fixed the problem enough to get home. Thank you. Merry Christmas! Subscribing my good sir!
Same thing I was looking for as well ... even though I have a 2008 Ford Escape this was identical process ... Roy da man !
Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Hello Roy, after following your instructions my 2008 Nissan Frontier is back in business! Thank you
Glad I could help and thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thank you , I searched for so long and your video made it so I could repair my truck myself ! Cathe Pomaikai 10:35
This video saved me 1300 bucks from a stealership. Thanks brother.
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching 🤙👍🤙
Thanks Roy I used the pry par to take the plastic cover off the top and the cotter pin puller to remove the shifter handle but I needed more tools in the box so this was a good excuse to add rhem. It took me about an hour and between this and another guys video I was able to get it done no problem. Thanks again a mechanic would have cost me a fortune.
Thanks for watching 🤙 🤙🤙
Grape video on how 2 replace the shift grommet on a 2008 Nissan Frontier. Better than the other 1 we watched as he didn't show how 2 remove control cover r 2 replace same. 👍👍👍
You saved the day for me! Thank you for this very helpful video. My '08 Frontier is back in action now.

Thank you very much! I have a 2008 Nissan Frontier and this happened to it, I’m going to give it a try and let you know how it went!

Thank you sooooooo much, this helped me out in a tough situation. Last night( Friday night) I was driving with my gf and I was reversing but when I tried to shift into drive the shifter didn't change.😰😰 I was horrified because I had just rebuilt the transmission 1 week ago.
We managed to find parking ( while in that awkward position) and walked home that night in the rain🥶🥶🥶🥶. the morning I CZcams the issue and It seemed like your video described the problem. I went and followed your instructions and was then able to use the cable to change the gear into neutral so it can start, and I went home.
I have a 2005 niisan pathfinder btw
Now its just to get the grommet from Amazon or eBay
I am soo relived I didn't have to call a mechanic. Thank you soo much 🙏
Glad I could help, thanks for watching!
Thanks for the help. It went well with the exception of the little plastic tool they ship with bushing, it boogered up pretty quickly and wound up using a small screwdriver to push the rest of the bushing in on my 2006 Frontier.
Also the plastic gear selector cover can be released with a flat head or pocket knife instead of the cotterpin puller. And the c- clip can be removed by hand. I figured all this out when i arrived at work today. This video shows me that i can get the kit i see on Ebay for 24$ instead pid the whole cable for 45$
Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
🙏thank you ! I fixed my frontier 2007. The only thing is that I can’t do shift 1. The rest works fine
Did you seat the slotted cable that takes the clip in the right position? Seems like it’s too far back(towards the front of the dash)?
Great video!! No auto store near me had the bushing had to wait 2 days to arrive in the mail. Your video helped me out and saved me money thanks!!
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching 👍👍👍
Great job! You always make your videos so helpful and easy to understand. THANK YOU!!
Thanks uncle! My 07 xterra running good now

Unko and I followed along and after waiting for the part to arrive, we had it fixed within 15 minutes. Mahalos from Kauai 🤙🏼😎🤍

Hi Roy
I need a grommet for a Nissan MARCH-
but the dealer tells me that I have to buy -a whole cable @ over 300 dollars
Appreciate it Roy
I have a 2006 Nissan Frontier was in the parking garage when I turn the key put the car in reverse and attempted to go in Drive the shift gear moved free with out easy but stayed in reverse. I turned the key again lights on but the car eould not turn over. Saw a video on what it could be. Ordered the part from Amazon.
I have 127,000 miles on my truck hope to keep it for many more years
This definitely could be the video for you! You’ll have to take the console apart to put it back into brake to turn on the car. Let me know how it goes and Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Excelente video
Thanks good video
Something not right with this ,no foot on brake but able to shift truck, also no key in ignition and still shift, all safety features been bypass?
Great question & concern. Under the plastic panel of the gear shift handle, there’s a white button that you press to override the lock solenoid on the vehicle that keeps it in park, you can see it around 3:38 minutes mark of the video. I hope that eases your concerns and answers your questions. Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
@@RoysGarage808 wow that sure did , was wondering about that , I have to do the whole cable it’s damaged and needed to move the shifter like you did all out the way to get cable end back on, oh what a pain well this explains it and very helpful , they had a recall I believe on that lock got mine fixed but saw you vide wants sure though if your truck or not, but anyway Thanks again good information.
@@1wtrahan Glad I could help!
Thanks buddy
So helpful, thank you so much!
My truck gets stuck to reverse and i cant even start the car .. even though hes in paek gear but stuck to reverse what should i do
.
I believe your gear shift cable came off, so I would take the console apart and check. If it is that put it back on, hold it in place and shift it back into park. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Roy, your fingers too fat for this job. Should let Arlyn give it a try. LOL
Thanks for the help friend subbed!
hi roy thank you for sharing your fruitful video on how to replace a grommet on a 2008 nissan. my question is their a exact size for that? thanks again
I don’t believe so, I usually just input year make model to find parts. Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thanks for sharing
Gracias por el video
Hey that’s a great video and sorry to bug you from where are you got the part I got the same problem with my truck
Hey, I got the part online through bushingfix.com part# ni1kit, I hope my videos help you fix you car!
23 bucks on amazon
Btw…it’s not a grommet its a “shifter cable BUSHING”…
Thank you!
dorman 14797 bushing found at auto parts should work.
Thank you! You really saved me, no auto parts store carried the kit in the video and it was a few days wait to order it. I seen your comment and hurried down to the auto parts store asked for the 14797 bushing and it worked perfectly. Thanks again!
@@TheSeveredmind You and everyone else that benefit from the info are very welcome. I'm just glad I stumbled across this bushing that worked. I tried to find every vid that had to do with this bushing problem and left the part number to make life a little easier for you and others who have or will have this problem. So I'm glad I could help. And I am very thankful to the people who have putout these awesome how to vids.
@@jarez3781very much appreciated!
This just happened tonight to my husband after changing it his starter the 08 frontier would not go into gear
Thanks
Does it matter which way the bushing goes in. After I installed mine I noticed I faced the side with the grooves out and you have the smooth side out.
It seems to stay in place...🙏
Than you so much!
Thanks for watching 🤙🤙🤙
I did this now my truck won’t release the key🤔
Just fixed the problem but now it won’t shift into 1st
It’s most likely not the cable side but id recommend taking it apart again, press the white button again to release the locking solenoid and try to manually shift it around. Underneath the plastic cover of the gear shift lever (stick) there’s a track that it’s suppose to be on, make sure it’s on that track. I hope that helps and let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Just in this morning my frontier the happen this
Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
I am looking how to fix...
