2012 Nissan Frontier, broken shifter linkage bushing caused by misaligned clip?
One of my work trucks was stuck in drive on Wednesday and even when the shifter was put into park or reverse, the truck moved forward. Had him drive it to our shop and pulled apart the center console. I found the shifter bushing had broken off so I temporarily reattached the end of it to the shift selector and got it into park reverse and neutral. When shifting into drive however, it had alot of resistance and then would pop off again. I found a video online showing this clip being an issue and sure enough, mine was getting caught too when putting it into drive. The video talked about moving the clip back into place and then tightening down the screw but ive tried that and it still gets caught as shown in the video. I loosen the screw and then move it toward the center of the vehicle toward the passenger side, try to hold it while i tighten the screw back down but it doesn't seem like enough and still sticks out.
Any tips or tricks to this? Do I need to replace it?
