Basically I'm looking to see if anyones got the above combination to post a picture of their selector cable bracket if possible, I know I'm missing the bolt to the selector cable but it appears another part has fallen off, I would post a picture but can't figure out how, if anyones got pictures though of the selector bracket then it'd be appreciated.

Anything helpful in these pics?




These are from a 4 cylinder, but the bracket mounts the same way on the V6.

Was it you who posted on FB earlier? I posted this pic there, too.

The cable is connected to the lever that you see in the pic. It looks like you are missing the lever and the pivot that supports it.

I don't think I'm missing the arm? I honestly thing I'm just missing the bolt but i still cant figure it out until I know what all is missing or not,
Thanks ya'll

Raydar's trans doesn't have that bracket and neither does mine. Both are 88's so it may be something that was eliminated in later years. I know I've seen it on others. I can't post a link from this device but search technical for Manual transmission identification with pics. There is a bolt in the bottom hole, but I can't tell it's purpose. I summize that it really isn't needed, having been eliminated in later years.

Look on page 2 of that thread, near the bottom. Gonzo posted some pics that show an angle bracket bolted underneath with what looks like a pivot pin in the lower part of the angle bracket.

Edit: I just enlarged your pic and it appears the angle bracket is there, but the bottom ear of the cast bracket where it bolts is broken off.

Edit #2: That angle bracket appears to support one end of the shift lever pivot pin.

This is correct. The ear is broken off of the casting. I believe this is cast as part of the transmission, but it has been a while since I've had an Isuzu to look at.

Any way to fix it? I've looked online for a better picture however I just can't seem to find one to show exactly what is missing to even be able to fab one up or make the repair.

Take a look at it and see if it's removable. Because there's a pivot pin with a clip, I suspect that that shift lever can be removed. It may be interchangeable with one from a later year that didn't require the cast-on bracket. I think that there's a bolt behind that broken bracket that holds the whole shift mechanism onto the transmission. You can see it in the right side of Raydar's picture. There's another on the left side. Pictures I've found look like they're interchangeable. If you could find a later model in a yard, see how easy it is to remove, and if easy enough, swap them out. That would prevent you having to do a transmission replacement.
