Select Cable Repair

Here is the process I used to replace the cable.

1.  Pull out the clip hold the cable in the bracket and remove the hold down nut (15mm).  I removed the Air cleaner tube for clearence.

2. Behind the glove box in the center console there are 2 screws (7mm), remove these.

3. Remove the shift knob by turning it counter-clockwise

4. Open the ash tray doors and remove the ashtrays.  Under each tray there are 2 screws (7mm).  Remove these.

5. Once these are out the unit will slide up off the shifter.

6.   The Arm Rest can then be removed and set to the side.  There are wires connected for the cigarette lighter, be careful not to pull them apart.

7.  Remove the three screws (7mm)holding down the center panel (power windows/mirror control panel) and set aside.  You can then get to the 2 clips holding the cable in.  Remove these.

You can pull the clip out with pliers.  The clip on the front is really small and will need needle nose pliers.

8. Loosen the 4 nuts (10mm) on the side of the computer and pull it out of the bracket.   Set it aside.

9. Remove the 4 screws (7mm) that hold the computer bracket in place and set it aside.

10. Remove the 2 screws (7mm) in the back on the center plastic plate to allow clearence for the cable.  With the screws out the plate can be lifted allowing the cable to pass under

11. Pull the grommet out of the firewall.  The cable can then be pulled into the car

12. Pull the cable out the front.

13. REINSTALL in the opposite manner.  Route the cable carefully around the engine assuring it doesn't touch any heat transferring componets.  I ran mine under the tranny mount.
