Shift cable (at shifter in cab) bushing overcomes brittle

[unknwn]

I was lurking on eBay, and came across this 'fix' for a problem that was being blamed on a solenoid.

Made sense to me (I haven't taken things apart -yet-), and at $20 to -cure- 20+ years, 1/4 million miles, and very likely a zillion shifts, I bought one before the shifter protests irretrievably.

As things are, the shifter has refused to move out of the 'park' position now & again, only co-operating -jf- the over ride button was depressed. Not all the time, but often enough that I suspected an intrinsic -mechanical- (rather than electro/mechanical(??) ) difficulty arising.
