Looking for some help with this. Last night i went to shift into reverse and the gear shift broke. I looked underneath and the bracket and cable are still attached, but not moving at all.
Here is a video of what it is doing. Is there supposed to be a set screw or something somewhere? I cant figure out what the problem actually is.

Are you sure the shifter cable is still attached? Take your cluster out and you can get a better look at what the problem is.

 

Look under the dash when you do that. There are a couple screws that hold things in place there, I just tightened mine last night and they where a T25. My bet is one or all of those screws came out.

Skip to 5:30 of this video, ours look the exact same as his, just the process is easier, just look under the dash lol.

 

What part is the cluster?
Does the cable go all the way through to the gear shift itself? the cable is attached to the bracket when i look under the column.

 

I did check under the dash and both bolts are still screwed in all the way. When i move the shifter the bracket its bolted to doesnt move at all.
any other ideas?

 

Follow it back. At least you found out things are still connected so you just have a small amount of area to look.

 

back into the steering column or the other way? It just attaches to the bracket, doesnt it? or does it go inside the gear shifter itself?

 

I looked at it is still attached to the bracket. The bracket isnt moving. the shifter is moving in and out and has a lto of play. did you see the video i posted?
