'96 SL manual trans linkage

#1

My '96 SL shift cable eye came off the shaft on my linkage. It looks
like a plastic retainer broke. Does Saturn sell this retainer
seperate, or is it part of a cable assy? Zip ties are holding it on
for now.

Went to Saturn parts dept, was told I have to buy the whole cable
for 150 bucks to get the retainer.

I drilled a hole through the center of the pivot stud, and ran a
small bolt through it with fender washers to keep the cable end from
coming off.

Seems to work fine.

and that's been more than a few people's solution, and they too have had

no problems with it.
