New Cable Installation Only

Installation Procedure

Caution: Refer to Automatic Transaxle Range Selector Cable Caution in Service Precautions.

1. Set the parking brake.
2. Block the wheels.
3. Place the transaxle in the Neutral position.
4. Place the shift control in the Neutral position.
5. Before connecting the two cable sections to each other, connect each cable section to the following components:
^ The automatic transaxle range selector lever and shift cable bracket
^ The column or the console shift control and retainer or wiring harness clip





6. Insert the metal end fitting of the shift control cable into the transaxle cable end.
7. Use the molded end fittings in order to push the metal end fitting of the shift control cable and the transaxle cable end together until the metal post snaps into place.





8. Depress the adjuster clip once. This mobilizes the adjuster housing toward the transaxle end fitting.
9. Line up the end fittings and slide the fittings together until you feel the parts cam together and lock.
10. Depress the adjuster clip completely. This locks the cable into its adjusted service position.
11. Pull the conduit in the opposite direction. This will assure full system adjustment of the shift cable.





12. Fully engage the conduit.





Important: The horseshoe clip is not fully engaged if the tab is not flush.

13. Install the shift cable retainer and the wiring harness clip or the wiring harness strap.
