    2002 Automatic Transmission Shift Cable - Replacement question

    2002 Xterra 3.3L non-SC, automatic transmission, the shift cable between the shifter and the trans has gotten so stiff we're about to break something by forcing it in and out of gear.

    SINCERE THANKS to all who helped with this... I pulled the dizzy and found the bearing in pieces...definitely the culprit. Will rebuild this one in time, but bought a new one from RockAuto for under $80 and now it's running like it should. Thanks again everyone!! :-)

    Whoa...you guys are super fast! I wasn't expecting to hear anything for a day or so. Color me impressed. :-) Codes were for the rear oxygen sensor, but the rear catalytic converter was rattling something fierce so we replaced the cat and the code for the rear oxygen sensor went away. Only...

    Folks I need some help here. I'm no good with electrical work. I just suck at it. My brain just doesn't get it...but I try. I have a 2002 Xterra 3.3L non-supercharged with right at 200k miles on the clock. It will start, run, and drive GREAT for about two minutes...then as it's getting fully...
