Question:

1998 monte carlo?

i have a 98 monte carlo wuith console shift. i need to change out the shifter cable, can anyone give me some advise on how to that?

Answer:

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE CAUTION: The automatic transaxle range selector cable is made out of two cable sections. After initial connection never separate the two metal couplings from one another. Integrity of the connection of the two metal couplings will be lost if separation of the two metal couplings occurs. When servicing the transaxle remove the cable at the automatic transaxle, range selector lever and at the automatic transaxle range selector cable bracket. If either section of the cable needs to be replaced, replace both of the cable sections. Loss of connection integrity of the two metal couplings can cause loss of transaxle shift control which could result in personal injury. Set the parking brake. Block the wheels. Place the transaxle in the Neutral position. Place the shift control in the Neutral position. Connect each cable section to the following before connecting the two cable sections: To the automatic transaxle range selector lever and shift cable bracket. To the column or the console shift control and retainer or wiring harness clip. Insert the metal end fitting of the shift control cable into the transaxle cable end. Use the molded end fittings to push the metal end fitting of the shift control cable and the transaxle cable end together until the metal post snaps into place. Depress the adjuster clip once. This mobilizes the adjuster housing toward the transaxle end fitting. Line up the end fittings so they slide together until you feel the parts cam together and lock. Depress the adjuster clip completely. This locks the cable into its adjusted service position. Pull the conduit in the opposite direction to assure full system adjustment of the shift cable Ensure the conduit is fully engaged. IMPORTANT: The horseshoe clip with the tab is flush when fully engaged. The horseshoe clip with the tab is not flush when not fully engaged. Install the shift cable retainer and the wiring harness clip or the wiring harness strap.
