The clip that holds shifter cable to the transmission is broken. Why you ask? Well, I was changing the water pump and in order to get to the 8mm bolt on water pump. I needed to move the shifter cable by disconnecting the linkage on top of the transmission along with the battery, air intake tube, and the upper and lower radiator hoses. Now here is the problem... No one sells just the clip! You have to buy the whole cable! I used epoxy and a tie wrap to hold it together. That's my fix.
