shifter on 2008 avalanche
Mechanic says shifter cable can't be adjusted properly because the column shifter is worn out. I took it in to have the shifter cable replaced. When I picked it up, it was very hard to shift from park & it won't go into low (1) gear. He is saying the column has to be replaced. i'm thinking there should be a part that just needs replaced not the whole column. Any advice/thoughts?

The shifter is its own assembly.
It looks like they are about $110.00
I can't see why a shop would want to replace the whole steering column with this part available . . . except they'd get to charge a bunch more for it.

Dorman 905-120 Steering Column Shift Mechanism
the mechanic seemed to think it wasn't a separate part. I wasn't happy with them so I wouldn't let them drop the column to look. i know things can happen but it was operating fine when I took it there and now it is hard to shift from park. should have just done it myself like I normally do. thanks for the help..

Scary. That'* an easy one.
Good move!
Did they have time alone to wrestle with it? They might have exacerbated it.
