Dorman905-120 Steering Column Shift Mechanism Compatible with Select Models

I replaced the shifter in my truck, as the spring had broken

So far so good on 2005 gmc yukon denali!Not sure what everyone's fuss is about this part ,but I believe the reason why it maybe faulty after installation is because the spring itself needs to be greased or at least that's how the broken one was,full of some lubricant to the point I thought something back fired but there's nothing fluid wise going towards the shift mechanism! So I brought this up to my mechanic and he did agree that some lubricant does need to go into it, but I didn't see what he actually put on it,even though I try to learn but stay out the way at the same time so he can do his job! But as my mechanic suggested just buy a new one cause you don't know what's wrong with the old one vs just buying the spring itself, cause the lubricant could be inside the shaft of the mechanism!!!Also the spring being popped doesn't mean the whole mechanism is faulty just the spring, itself so save the old part and buy the spring ,it's under $10 for OME /gmc/ac delco!!! And keep it as the backup so whenever the new doorman pops, you got OG backup with the newer spring!!!Also just get the protection plan from Amazon, 4 years for another $10 I can live with that as we see the part is already fair priced!the popped spring will give you power issues trying to start the vehicle, so don't look at the battery as the issue!!!!!There's videos on YouTube that will walk any novice through the process ,only reason I didn't do it myself is because of the bad weather here in the tri-state, but my mechanic only charged me $70 and a sandwich, lol other mechanics online price checking is a $100 to install this very simple part!The videos you want is the ones where they take out the ignition switch, thats the only way to get the wire hook out that's attached to the shift mechanism! Take your time you can do it if you're handy!!!!!!*zoom in on pics to see the lubricant/Grey looking grease!!!!Good luck!

This is considered a wear item by the mfr., the spring broke and it was very cumbersome to shift into park. High quality, quick and easy replacement. Just like new again.

Worked great fit perfectly

This item fit and fixed my truck, very happy
