• Q: How to replace the automatic transmission shift cable on 2001 Chevrolet Impala?

  A: The replacement process of automatic transmission range selector cable starts by removing the throttle body air inlet duct before disconnecting the cable from wiring harness clip or strap followed by automatic transaxle range selector lever and cable bracket. Where floor console shift control exists drivers must first remove the front floor console before accessing the cable with carpet removal and detaching it from all passenger compartment retainers and console shift control retainers. Remove the filler panels on the steering column to reach the shift control lever at which point pull out the cable through the dash hole. Place the new cable through the dash opening and followup by routing it through the console shift control bracket before its attachment to the console shift control and the retainer. The carpeting along with the front floor console must be reinserted. Tie the steering column control cable to the shift control lever and you can then install the steering column filler panel. Secure the cable by first routing it correctly and second attaching the ends to the cable bracket followed by the lever. The transaxle and shift control must be set to neutral before connecting both cable sections when you insert the metal end fitting of the shift control cable into the transaxle cable end then push until snapping occurs. Use the depress button on the adjuster clip to mobilize the housing while aligning the end fittings before fully operating the adjuster clip for cable locking. A complete adjustment can be checked by pulling the conduit while ensuring that the horseshoe clip with tab remains completely engaged. To complete installation you should put on Shift Cable retainer and wiring harness clip or strap then adjust automatic transaxle range selector cable and reinstall throttle body air inlet duct.
