Raise and stop the vehicle while it is in PARK when you are readying to service or repair the gearshift cable. Take apart the connection between the transmission shift lever and the eyelet, then let go of the cable from its support bracket. Drop the vehicle and get rid of the console parts to reach the shift lever assembly and the shift cable. Remove the cable at the shift lever and shifter assembly bracket and next, take out the nuts holding the shift cable seal plate to the floor pan and drag the cable through the opening to the outside. Route the installed cable through the hole in the floor pan and hold the seal plate firmly to the studs, using torque of 7 Nm (65 in. lbs.) to button the nuts shut. Attach the cable from the shift cable to the bracket on the shifter assembly and be sure to push it in firmly. Then, place the floor shifter lever into PARK. If the cable is very tight, loosen the screw and slip it onto the end of the shift lever pin. Lift the vehicle again and join the shift cable to the shift cable support bracket. Put the transmission in PARK, the position toward the back on the manual shift lever and then snap the shift cable into that position. Unless the car has a shift-by-wire system, swing the vehicle down, shift into PARK and tighten the adjustment screw to 7 Nm (65 in. lbs.). Also, operate the shifter and return all console parts that had to be removed during access.
