Won't shift into 3, 4,5, or 6

Everything was working fine, I was parking my 04 S and all of a sudden the shifter will not move to the right. It will go into 1,2 and R, but not 3,4,5 or 6. It will not move to the right at all

I pulled the center console and the cables are both attached. The left cable will push, but not pull.

Checked under the car and both cables are attached.

Doesn't matter if the engine is running or not

It drives fine in 1, 2 and R.

Any ideas???

Have you checked under the car if the cables are knocked off of their brackets? They could be even when their ends are connected to the shift levers on the transmission.

Along with what Ahsai said look to see if the shifter arms on the transmission are bent. Not too hard to do backing into a curb or rock.

Went under the car and the cable was loose at the bracket. Ill order new retaining clips to fix that

Messed around with it and its all good now!

 

Thankx

 

[Ahsai]

Yup, very common. Zip ties will work too.

[JayG99]

Have been searching, can you order the factory clips?

Part number?

 

[Ahsai]

I have not found one hence zip ties.

[JayG99]

Yea, I was thinking of using zip ties

 

In searching a bit, is 986-424-411-00 the correct part?

Thanks all!

Jay ,

Thank you for Posting the Clip-Trans Cable # 986-424-411-00 .2 clips required. Many of us hack diy mechanics have been using ugly zip ties on very expensively rebuilt power trains .  RND or Sunset would also have it.

Here is a link to a larger photo of the clip:

I suspect that even with new clips, fitting zip ties at the same time is a good idea?

I decided to not replace the clips and safety wire then cabled instead
