2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Shift Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: The first step to replace the automatic transmission range selector cable consists of removing the engine-specific air cleaner outlet duct which could be 3.5l, 3.9l, or 5.3l. You must detach the automatic transaxle range selector cable from both the wiring harness clip and strap before unfastening the cable retainer and then separating the cable from the automatic transaxle range selector lever and bracket. You must take out the front floor console and move the carpet space to reach the cable when a floor console exists. The cable retainer needs to be detached from the console shift control to enable the removal of the cable between the console shift control and its bracket. A customer needs to remove the left knee bolster bracket before detaching the cable from the shift control lever at the steering column. The mechanics wire extension should fasten to the cable end and guide it out of the cowl hole. New cable installation begins by passing it through the cowl-hole before removing the mechanics wire. The left knee bolster bracket should be reinstalled after cable connection to the steering column shift control lever. The floor console shift control installation requires the cable to be first connected to the console shift control bracket before attachment to the console shift control while securing the cable retainer. Place the carpet down while reinstalling the front floor console while controlling the cable placement correctly. Drive the cable into both the automatic transaxle range selector cable bracket and lever before setting the retainer. To join the two cable sections set the box and shift control to neutral position then slide the metal end fitting of the shift control cable into the transaxle cable end before snapping them together. After linear movement of the adjuster clip you must secure the cable in its new position by moving the end fittings into alignment and pressing the adjuster clip all the way down. When pulling the conduit a complete system adjustment occurs and users should check that the horseshoe clip with its tab is flat against the surface after full engagement. Before putting back the air cleaner outlet duct follow engine guidelines to connect the automatic transaxle range selector cable either to the wiring harness clip or strap while adjusting the cable position as required.
