Defect
On manual transmission vehicles, the retention clip for the gear shift cable is incorrectly shaped, causing it to interfere with the gear shift control lever housing during shift operations. Continued use may cause the clip to fracture and, in the worst case, the gear shift cable may disengage from the gear shift control lever, making gear changes impossible.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the gear shift cable retention clip with the corrected part.
