I don't have much experience working on cars. Today my shift cable stuck permanently (I have been shoving it back in the housing from time to time). The cable was apparently frayed and binding in the cable sleeve. I ran it up to my mechanic for replacement.

They said its an all afternoon job and would cost $340 to replace it. I was just curious how hard it is to do and how much a job like this typically takes. I know they replaced a headlamp bulb for $18.95. When it burned out a couple of weeks later I went to the auto parts store and put one in for $8.95 so I'm learning its a lot cheaper to do things myself.

Thanks for any info on this.
