• Q: How to replace the automatic transmission shift cable on 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

  A: The automatic transmission range selector cable change process starts by disassembly of the intake duct followed by wire harness unclipping the cable before extracting the retainer to detach the cable from automatic transaxle range selector lever and bracket. First remove the front console from the floor if present and then exposed the cable through pulling back the carpet. To replace the automatic transmission range selector cable begin by removing the cable retainer from the console shift control then disconnect the cable from both the console shift control along with the bracket. Unhook the cable from the shift control lever after removing the left knee bolster bracket when a steering column shift control exists. You should use a piece of mechanics wire to extend the cable end before guiding it through the cowl hole. To install the new cable workers must feed it through the cowl opening while taking out the mechanics wire. The left knee bolster bracket can be reinstalled while the cable gets connected to the steering column shift control lever. Add the cable to the console shift control bracket before connecting it with the control through a retainer. Finally position the carpet and reinstall the front floor console after routing the cable correctly. Use the retainer to fasten the automatic transaxle range selector cable bracket and the lever. Open the transaxle shift control while keeping the neutral position selected. Then join the cable sections by fitting the shift control metal end to the transaxle end until it securely locks into place. The service position of the cable becomes secure after depressing the adjuster clip multiple times until the end fittings lock and the clip reaches its full depression position. Complete system adjustment requires pulling the conduit while verifying that the horseshoe clip with tab becomes completely flat during engagement. The final step involves connecting the cable to its place on the wiring harness clip followed by adjusting the cable before reinstalling the air cleaner intake duct.
