What is your question?
Hi Everyone, Does anyone know a fair price for getting a gear shift cable replaced? My gear shift cable is broken, so my car won't shift gears (it is stuck in drive and won't do anything else: not reverse, not park...nothing). It won't even start because it won't shift into park. Can anyone give me a fair price for having this fixed? I have a 2008 Crown Vic (Police Interceptor) with roughly 64,000miles. Thanks in advance for your help.

Where is it broken, is it just loose from the shift arm or the plastic lock broken.
You bet and good luck.
When I look underneath my steering, i can see the plastic casing around the metal cable broken off revealing the shiny metal cable inside. I am guessing this is where the problem is
When the shifter is moved is there any resistance while moving it. I don't remember the price on that one, but I do work on many police cars and had no cable issues except at the transmission.
No resistance whatsoever! Once you move it off park, it slides feeely between REVERSE and 1; sometime without even having to pull it in for the shift to happen (by the way, thanks a bunch for taking the time to help me)
