Dorman Shifter Cable Bushing Kit — 14073 Direct-Fit for Chevrolet/GMC/Isuzu/Oldsmobile, Restores Crisp Shifting

If your automatic transmission shifter feels loose, jumps out of gear, or the shift lever movement doesn't translate smoothly to the transmission, the problem can often be a small, worn bushing where the shift cable connects to the linkage. The Dorman 14073 kit provides a direct-fit, engineered replacement bushing so you can repair the connection without replacing the entire cable assembly. Built with durable materials and designed for specific Chevrolet, GMC, Isuzu, and Oldsmobile models, this OE Fix part restores a crisp shifting feel while saving time and money.

How does this bushing fix my loose or sloppy shifter?

The Dorman 14073 bushing replaces the worn pivot point where the shift cable attaches to the shift linkage, removing excess play and reestablishing accurate motion transfer. Because it restores the intended geometry, the shifter responds more predictably and eliminates the need to over-tighten or repeatedly adjust the cable. Installation is focused and targeted, so you repair the cause rather than replacing entire components.

• Direct-fit replacement designed for specific Chevrolet, GMC, Isuzu, and Oldsmobile applications.
• Replaces the worn pivot point to eliminate play and misalignment.
• Saves hours of labor compared with swapping the whole cable assembly.
• Precision-engineered to match OEM dimensions for reliable operation.

What makes the Dorman 14073 different from replacing the whole cable?

This kit targets only the failed bushing instead of the entire shift cable assembly, so parts and labor costs are significantly lower. The bushing is manufactured to fit precisely and tolerate typical under-hood stresses, giving long-term service without the complexity of routing and adjusting a new cable. You get a fast, minimally invasive repair that restores shifting performance.

• Lower parts cost compared with full cable replacement.
• Faster repair time—minimal disassembly required in most cases.
• Maintains original cable routing and length, avoiding re-adjustment hassles.
• Quality backed by Dorman’s aftermarket engineering and U.S. design heritage.

Which vehicles and years will this bushing fit?

The Dorman 14073 is vehicle-specific and was engineered for select Chevrolet, GMC, Isuzu, and Oldsmobile model ranges. Fitment must be verified against your exact make, model, year, and trim; using the vehicle lookup or garage tool ensures you order the correct part. Choosing the correct variant avoids trial-and-error and guarantees the precision match necessary for reliable shifting.

• Designed for specified Chevy, GMC, Isuzu, and Oldsmobile applications.
