Auto Parts: needing a shift cable, isuzu rodeo, pep boys

Question
I have a 98 Isuzu Rodeo, 3.2 engine.  The AT shift cable is bad.  I have had this part ordered for over 3 months and Isuzu keeps delaying the back order release.  I just found out that they are saying another month.  I am trying to find this part new or used or someone that can make the cable.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks

Answer
Hi Robert,

My only suggestion is next time stay away from Isuzu's. That part is on back order because Isuzu Corp. won't release notes on it's design and therefore aftermarket companies cannot reproduce it and make it generally available in most new auto parts stores. Call Isuzu and give them a piece of your mind or buy American.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
