• Q: How to replace the automatic transmission shift cable on 2007 Cadillac DTS?

  A: The first step in replacing a shift cable requires setting the park brake and wheel chalking. Fully raise the retainer from the transaxle shift cable mechanism before disconnecting the shift cable terminal from the transaxle manual shift lever pin. The releasing of the shift cable from its bracket is possible by pressing inward on the locking tabs. The first step for shift cable replacement is to unfasten the left console trim panel and front floor console trim plate before disconnecting the shift lever pin from the shift cable terminal. Begin by gripping the lock release to expose the shift cable. Disconnect the cable from the console while plugging the shift cable grommet from the cowl panel. Proceed to take out the shift cable from the vehicle. Shift the cable through the cowl panel before seating the grommet. To install the shift cable, push it completely inside the console until it locks then join its terminal to the shift lever pin. Install the front floor console trim plate together with the left console trim panel after you put the shift cable into its bracket. The shift cable terminal needs to be connected to the manual shift lever pin at the transaxle and the cable mechanism needs to have the retainer installed. Adjust the shift cable as the last step.
