  Q: How to Maintain and Fix a Shift Cable on Dodge Magnum?

  A:

  Before beginning service or repair on the shift cable, put the transmission in PARK and raise the vehicle. Release the gearshift cable at the manual shift lever of the transmission and pull the cable from the mounting bracket. Lift the vehicle gently and take out the floor console if you need to reach the shift mechanism and its cables. Whenever necessary, disconnect the bolts that hold the gearshift and park lock shield to the floorpan, then remove the shield. After that, remove the gearshift cable from the pin on the shift lever and take the retainer from the opening in the shifter assembly. Remove the grommet under the dash panel and then take out the entire gearshift cable.

  Q: How to Install a Shift Cable on Dodge Magnum?

  A:

  Start the installation of the shift cable by lowering the gearshift cable (1) through the dash panel down to the shifter assembly from the engine compartment. Once that's done, stick the grommet (2) onto the dash panel and hold the gearshift cable retainer (2) into the notch (2) in the shifter assembly. Place the gearshift cable onto the moveable pin on the shift lever and if necessary, loosen the screw used to adjust the cable length. Proceed by threading the gearshift cable (1) under the air conditioning lines and heater hoses (2) up to the transmission (3) manual lever and then lift the car. Turn the propeller shaft to see if it rotates; if so, adjust the transmission manual shift lever until it shows the PARK system is on. Take the gearshift cable and pass it through the bracket, then hook the cable eyelet onto the manual shift lever on the transmission (3). Adapt the suspension so that part of the front bumper just touches the ground, put the shifter into PARK and then tighten the adjustment screw (5) to 7 Nm (65 in.lbs.). Check the gear shift is operating well and need to bolt the shield covering the gearshift and park lock cables to the floorpan if required. Lastly, put in the floor console when it's required.
