If you count back about 5 slides the picture with the finished bushing on the selector lever is what I have two of. You can fix both ends of the cable.

About the same thing I did, except I made my bushing out of brass and used a washer on the outside with e clip. Mine broke under console first, still need to do transfer end.

Heavy Duty JK Cable Shifter Upgrade | Advance Adapters
Little pricey but it should solve the problem.

JK Transfer Case Cable Failure and Solution
After reading the posts about the weak JK transfer case cable I purchased the aftermarket unit from Summit Racing for $189. My dealer installed it at a cost of $480 and they put far more time into it than they billed. The Advance Adapters part no. 715596 is a high quality, strong unit, but it only comes in one size for 2 door and 4 door. The space you need to work in under the body will require a lift and a lot of patience. That said, we are ready to sling some mud without fear that the plastic cable ends will snap at a very inconvenient time.

I used two in an "X" pattern. Probably had 60K miles when the throw-out bearing went. Was laying under the Jeep swapping it and the clutch out when a friend asked if I had a replacement transfer case cable. Doh! I now have over 50K miles on the replacement zip-ties. Main bearing I'd leaking, so this time I will replace that cable. But zip-ties do work.

I'm another crap clip for men member
So I was at Attica Indiana today. For the ultra 4 race. And popped the bushing. Nothing like laying under a jeep and having a buddy put it into 4 low as he moves it...So w the zip tie fix should I buy a new plastic clip and zip tie.
