Hey guys, in trying to take my throttle body off I snapped this little plastic piece off. The right one popped off and I thought the left would do the same, but it was more of a latch style, and it snapped. here's some pics of it. I was wondering what this part is called and if anyone has done this same thing?






I tried gorilla gluing, various epoxys and rubber cements but none held. I couldn't really think of anything to work that wouldn't pull the cable out more.

But on the bright side, my throttle body and IAC valve are cleaned and the truck doesn't stall when I put it into drive. Yay

 

Transmission Shift Cable?

 

Yup, it is.

And it is needed.

It broke on me once before, I tried superglueing it, it lasted for a month or so. Replacements are discontinued from factory. I had to get one from a Ram from the junkyard.

Napa may have one or Carquest. Junkyard will be the next best choice, Rams around the same year used the same cable.

 

Alright. Pretty obnoxious how they decided to use two different types of lock on that! Here's to hoping they sell the plastic part separately...
