Hello my friend, i had this problem, so i started watching videos last week, most of them pointed to the brake sensor mechanism, they said take that off and you can overide it and it will go into gear,,i did that, didnt work, so they were saying next replace the shifter cables, so i was like, wow thats gonna be a job, so as i was looking at those videos and im at the point im gonna just take it to a shop and spend 500 dollars, including tow, i came across your video, with my hopes down i got in my truck, didnt even have to take that top steering wheel cover off, i saw the spring, i stuck a flathead screwdriver in there wiggled it around a little bit, it was tight,,but a little piece, about a 1/4 inch long came off, i thought i broke it, so i pulled it out, but then i noticed another spring and it was tight, so i thought,,well im gonna try the gear shift, turned the key to on and it shifted into all gears like butter, mabe that little piece of spring was something important, dont know, but my truck is running again, and the gear shift is as smooth as butter..you saved me alot of money..thank you and God Blees

Thanks bro saved me hours!!!

Worst video I’ve seen

1:08 that has a harbess that has 2 wires where do they go to ?

Just experienced this exact problem and I'm hearing the noise from that same area you pointed out. Thank you so much for doing this video, hopefully I've got a cat problem too and that's all. God Bless man

So I’m having the same problem did you ever figure out what the part is called so I can fix mines this video was very helpful by the way

I recently post my own KZfaq video, can you listen to it and comment if it’s the same noise your Chevy was making if I then can have my replaced. Also how did the muffler shop charge to replace it. Both or just one side? Thank you 🙏🏻

I have a 2013. 5.3 with the same noise same location it seems to be less with 93 octane which might be me hopeing that's what it is .but thanks for the Info

This video didnt explain shit

This solution worked for my 2007 Chevy! Thanks for sharing!!!

My mother in law bought a 99 sierra for cheap from neighbor and I had to unhook from trans just to move next door..Checked all fuses and also swapped 2 different shift brake solenoids from junk yard and nothing.After watching your video went out removed the 3 screws and part and found the pin was bent and not sliding back down,and pretty sure the spring was gone also. I'll just go back to the junk yard to look for parts. Anyway,I was so hyped to find the problem that I felt I had to leave this long @$$ comment.Thanks man.

Sorry viewers, I was on my way to work when this happened. I wasn't prepared to film this at that time. The SHIFT LEVER that puts the vehicle in gear has a small spring, " kind of like on a push pen" the spring is what pushes your lever when engaged. If you look on the side of the lever you can see it, some times it bends and come out of place so it gets in the way of pulling the lever torward you. If pushed back in place you will be able to engage the shifter. You can trim the spring if its not to damaged or you can replace it. Its bends into the area like a (L) shape so the spring need to be strained out straight ( l) to allow you to engage.

Your video is straight garbage and useless. Sorry yeah I'm that guy that just the truth

2007?
