Check the many on-line auto parts sources, such as; www.autopartswarehouse.com, www.drivewire.com or www.rockauto.com for the replacement parts.
For example, they (RockAuto) list the shifter cable assembly from around $20.00 for your vehicle. There are also the many on-line used parts sources; www.findapartnow.com - as example.

This is an interference engine. that means that if the T belt breaks that the pistons bend the valves from the assembly going out of synch. So, yes. it has to go in the shop and expect a bill of about $1500 or more if it has bent valves.

Several possibilities; revision / change to the design during the model year - often (based on the vehicle build date) the manufacturer may make midyear changes. Other possibilitiy is, the axles you are comparing are not for this vehicle application - but may be for another vehicle.
An easy check for the correct parts - try the many on-line auto parts sources, such as; www.RockAuto.com or www.autopartswarehouse.com for the replacement parts and comparison.
For example, the halfshaft assembly (PN DW8005) for the Front Left or Front Right (automatic transmission) with ABS is; 20 15/32" (51.9906 cm) overall compressed length, and has 34 splines on the transmission (inboard) side and 33 splines on the outboard side - for your vehicle.

Spin it a couple of times, it takes 2 clicks to flush it with the bell housing. The tricky part is the first drop where the splines should line up, once they do, spin it around and it will fall into place.

You have a leak by the master cylinder. Verify if it does and i will post a howto

Check fluid level

The transmission housing should have a fill plug on the outside of the transmisson - higher than midpoint. The plug can be removed and the fluid checked at this point. If fluid is needed, fill the transmission until the fluid just runs out of this fill plug level.

THIS IS A PROCEDURE THAT SHOULD BE DONE WITH GREAT CARE. IF IN DOUBT, DON�T GET A PROFESSIONAL The way you check the transmission fluid is. 1 put the car on a lift. 2 lock the parking brake. 3 start the car. 4 run the selector thru the gears just like any other car. 5 lift the car up (with the engine running) so you can go under the transmission. 6 remove the transmission plug (it is located approx in the center of the transmission on the bottom). 7 if any fluid comes out put the plug back you are good to go. If nothing comes out then add fluid until some does then put the plug back.

have you check your transmission fluid level?

does your have a chip in it ?i had a 2000 Daewoo Nubira and i cant remember if it did been long time since i had mine
