2006 Chevrolet Corvette Shift Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the automatic transmission shift cable on 2006 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: The procedure for Shift Cable replacement begins with suspending the vehicle from a raise. Set the floor shift control to neutral position while ensuring neutral status on both the transmission and floor shift control during damaged cable replacement. First disconnect the Catalytic Converter assembly together with the driveline tunnel closeout panel. When disassembling the shift control cable handle it gently because its rod end guide tubes remain stiff and rigid. The floor shift control arm stud must release the shift control cable end clip while you remove the shift control cable from the driveline tunnel bracket through prying the cable retaining staple clip from the cable followed by depressing the retaining tabs and pushing those tabs through the bracket's hole before sliding the cable out of the bracket slot. Follow the same previous procedure by removing the shift control cable from the shift control cable bracket after unclipping the end of the shift control cable from the transmission shift lever stud. Install the smaller diameter section of the shift control cable through the driveline tunnel bracket slot while depowering the retaining tabs and thereafter securing the staple clip. Accomplish floor shift control arm stud installation by attaching the shift control cable end and placing the shift control cable on the shift control cable bracket. The transmission shift lever stud accepts the shift control cable end clip for installation. The first step to install a new transmission shift control cable includes the removal of the shipping guard from the adjuster lock followed by depressurizing the adjuster lock. Test the shift control cable operation by continuing vehicle lowerment while mounted on a hoist then verify smooth functioning by enabling the parking brake, activating the on ignition position and applying brakes followed by shifting gears while paying attention to transmission shift lever sound. Inspection of the shift control cable for damage must be performed when the inspection reveals either shift control binding or no transmitted sound. Follow the steps including shifting the floor shift control to park and doing regular brakes release before turning off the ignition key and letting go of the parking brake. You should finish the operation by installing both the driveline tunnel closeout panel and Catalytic Converter assembly after supporting the vehicle in its final position. The test driver must exercise care when testing the transmission to verify normal operation of its shift characteristics into each position.
