Driving to the parts store yesterday my 240GL shift cable decided to eject the "E" clip that holds the shift cable on the trans.

The shifter slid back a little & the driveshaft caught it while going 40 mph.

I thought that the entire asembly would come through the tunnel wall.

I am going to look for a relpacement clip now, I beleive that it is a 5/16 stud.

You may want to look on the drivers side on the trans & check yours before you get the same excitement.

Thanks for the heads up.

 

Well it's worse than I thought.

There was a washer or something on the other side of the cable to keep it in the hole.

I did not find the correct "E" clip, but it is at Lowes hardware store.

If I just attach the "E" clip, it is too small and will slip through the hole to the other side.

I will try a washer tomorrow & see if that works.
