hello all,

i am new to the website, so not really sure where to post this but im having some issues with my 2009 hhr ss

About two weeks agoI was parked at a stoplight waiting for it to turn green. Once it did, i engaged the clutch and went to shift into first gear and heard a pop. Turns out it was the shifter cable that broke and I am in need of a replacement. I searched all over the Internet it seems that there is no part anywhere in America, Canada included. I contacted a couple other GM warehouses and they sent me a part that they claimed would work but after attempting to install it and wasting a good 3 hours, it didnt work after all. Returning the part now, and still in need of a fix for this issue.
Was wondering if anyone has recently done a transmission swap and has old cables lying around anywhere or if anyone has any information on how I can get a set of cables.

feel free to call or text me, as im not sure if ill get a notification from replies to this post.



thanks in advance

 

I deleted your phone number. Go to "User CP" to set notifications.

What part broke, why don't the others work? Maybe a Saab cable would work.

 

#15939191 is the part number on what broke.

gm sent me #15277760 161R

i believe its the cables for the 2.4 L 5 speed, f23 transmission but i could be wrong. they were almost identical but the 15277760 was about 4 inches too long. i insstalled them and kinda let the extra cable hang to the size and crafted a way to secure them in place, but inside the cab of the car, the threaded part of one of the cables was about .430 in. too short and wouldnt fit into the the clip attached to the bottom of the shift lever.

 

You're the 2nd one posting about SS shifter cables in the last couple of days
Read the thread below. There are also some links posted there that may help you.

thanks but i already checked out that thread, still no luck

 

As I suggested contact ZZP or Tasca , confirm they have the correct part

 

contacted and spoke to both, along with tubman to no avail

 

Thanks for confirming, you contacted them , sorry it was to no avail , but you never know

 

thanks for trying to help, it doesnt go unnoticed. i used to have a Cobalt SS tc and both this forum and cobaltss.net have been very helpful. surprising how much of a family community vibe i get from it. the people on both forums seem help each other and its nice to see that especially in 2019

 

We are a tight knit bunch! I’ve got the time but no money for the flight to that yard, lol
