You generally can't replace the guide without replacing the cable. If the transmission still shifts easily, you don't need to replace the cable immediately (as in, it is not an emergency) however you should plan to replace it as soon as you can. yes you do there is no getting around it, sorry

You have an 1987 suzuki that will shift into every gear but second what needs to be repaired?

If the manual transmission seems to shift into all gears but 2nd and it doesn't sound like the gears are stripped then it is likely the shifter itself. I had an '86 that had the shifter bolt was broken. It is the bolt that keeps the ball on the end of the shifter aligned, with it broken the shift pattern was anyone's guess as to what gear it was going into. I repaired shifter by installing a new shifter bolt and repairing the housing by removing the broken bolt piece. It restored the shift pattern and smooth transmission operation.


Why won't my 1999 Oldsmobile Alero shift out of park?

If you can run the shifter down through the positions it may have broken loose at the transmission . If the shifter doesn't move at all it may be a problem in the steering column < unless it is a floor shifter >. If it is a floor shift model I'd start by checking the shifter release button to see if it is broken.


Why is tempo shifter stuck in park?

There is a plastic rod inside of the shifter arm, it unlocks the shifter from the park position when the button on the shifter handle is pressed. So, press in on the shifter button and pull the shift handle straight UP (you might have to pull hard). You should be able to remove the broken pieces of the plastic rod with some wire. You might have to go to a junk yard for a replacement.


Why won't my topaz come out of park even though the linkage is moving?

Do you mean that the shifter is able to move from park to drive and back, but the transmission is still in park? Is it possible that the shifter cable is broken, or has come off at the transmission. You will have to jack up the car, on safety jacks, have someone move the shifter, while you look at the linkage right at the transmission. Should give you the answer. The shifter itself could also be broke. Good luck.
