• Q: How to replace the Automatic Transmission Range Selector Shift Cable on 2007 Chevrolet Impala?

  A: The first task to replace automatic transmission range selector lever cables is removing the air cleaner outlet duct for engine types (3.5L, 3.9L, or 5.3L). Start by disconnecting the automatic transaxle range selector cable from both the wiring harness strap as well as the cable bracket. The retainer should be removed before separating the cable from the shift lever and the bracket. You need to remove the front floor console with a floor console present to access the cable by pulling back the carpet. The cable retainer gets removed from the console shift control before you detach the cable from both the console shift control and its bracket. The left knee bolster bracket requires removal before detaching the cable from the shift control lever when a steering column shift control exists. The installation requires mechanics wire to direct the cable passage through the cowl hole. Once installed the cable must be inserted through the cowl followed by removing the mechanics wire until the cable reaches the shift control lever for connection if required. Replace the console shift control along with its bracket and left knee bolster bracket by tightening the cable retainer. Place the carpet with the front floor console back in their locations while making sure the cable travels correctly toward the cable bracket and shift control lever. When the cable retainer reaches its secure position, the technician should set the transaxle and shift control to neutral. Next, the technician should join the cable sections by inserting the shift control cable metal end into the transaxle cable and pushing until the parts snap together. Following adjuster clip depression you must lock the end fittings together before completely inserting the clip to achieve the required cable position. Complete the adjustment of the system while pulling the conduit until the horseshoe clip matches the surrounding surface when the tab is fully engaged. Installation of the automatic transaxle range selector cable as a final step involves securing it to the wiring harness clip or strap before adjusting the cable when necessary during air cleaner outlet duct reinstallation according to engine specifications.
