1994 Saturn SL transmission problems

When I brake it brakes then lets go and then brakes again and keeps doing that until I come to a complete stop. Also when I am driving down the road my transmission I think jerks my whole car. And that also happens when I put thye car in reverse. I have talked to 4 other people who have a '9194 saturn sl2 and they have all the same problems. I also got to drive one of them and there car does everything mine does and both of our glove box latch has broke and does not latch.

Manual transmission - gear shift linkage to shift cable -- broken bushing at the bottom of the manual floor shifter where it attaches to the shift cable. The cable falls off the shifter linkage. Saturn parts (oem) wants to sell me the entire shift cable assembly for ~$200 (plus 3 hours labor to install it) -- should be a $5 fix for the broken plastic bushing. Apparently this is a very common problem among saturn owners. (see [link removed] ).
