Transmission line snapped

The handle to change gears on our 99 gmc suburban got stuck. The tow truck driver cut the connection and showed us how to use vice grips to change gears. We couldn't afford to fix and now have the wire breaking and unraveling. Is there any way to fix, change or make work?

Stumped ]with my 99 suburban 454motor.got hit in the drivers wheel. Broke tie rod cvshaft and pulled ball joints out. Still was running after impact.towed home and fixed everything now won't start.

Dear Josh,
This may be called "incidental damage".
Whenever a vehicle of any kind is hit , there can be all sorts of damage that happen that seems not to be connected to the damage. For example, getting hit in the front end can cause the rear tailgate to stop opening.
Or, getting hit in the rear end can cause the transmission to fail 4 months later.
Sounds like you have failure of some engine component, or maybe to the computer.
A really good car electrician & mechanic will be needed to find and fix the damage.
God bless your efforts.

Suburban transmission hard shifting from first to second only

How long have you owned it? Is it possible there is a shift kit installed for towing? Was there something that was done just before it started doing this? A tune up perhaps?

My 1999 chevy suburban slips and doesnt go to 3rd geer do i need a new transmission

sounds like the bands are slipping or the worst case the sun ring gear has broken, in either case a rebuild is necessary. Have you tried changing the filter and fluid to see if this helps? This is a littly costly for the fluids and such but I would at least get an estimate fron a transmission shop, they might get lucky and find a bad selenoid or vacume line.

I have a 99 GMC Suburban 5.7L V8 engine that is not shifting gears after 20mph. Help!

I would check the fluid level and make sure the fluid is red. It may need a filter change, most anything else is going to involve things inside the transmission.
