2006 Buick Rainier Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the automatic transmission shift cable on 2006 Buick Rainier?

  A: The first requirement for Shift Cable replacement is to position the vehicle in park mode and then elevate it. The first step to replace the Shift Cable consists of disconnecting the Shift Cable from the transmission range selector lever ball stud before removing its retainer from the cable. Remove the Shift Cable from both the bracket and floor panel retainer then take out the cable from Transfer Case retainers on 4wd vehicles. Drive the cable grommet through the floor panel from above and lower the vehicle then take off the console. Start by removing the driver-side front mat along with the carpet and next step involves removing the end of the Shift Cable from both the floor control ball stud and the floor shift control assembly. First remove the tape along with grommet on the Shift Cable from the floor panel before removing the Shift Cable from the vehicle. Install the grommet in the floor panel before inserting the cable down while attaching the Shift Cable to the floor shift control assembly and connecting its end to the floor control ball stud. Installing the carpet and mat on the driver side front followed by plugging in the console completes the process. After raising the vehicle install the cable into the floor panel retention spot or into 4wd Transfer Case retaining points. Roaring forward with caution, hook up the Shift Cable to bracket and then fasten the retainer onto the Shift Cable. You should finish your repair by connecting the end of the Shift Cable to the transmission range selector lever ball stud. Proceed with adjusting the Shift Cable then lower the vehicle to perform correctness checks.
