• Q: How to replace the Shift Cable on a 6T70/6T75 automatic transmission on 2010 Buick LaCrosse?

  A: The first step for replacing the range selector lever cable on a 6t70/6t75 automatic transmission requires engagement of the park brake and wheel chocking. To detach the transmission range selector lever cable terminal from the transmission manual shift lever pin, push the locking tabs inward while extracting the cable from the cable bracket. The console removal allows access to release the cable from its bracket position by pushing the locking tabs inward once more. To remove the transmission range selector cable motors must disconnect the shifter cable adjuster lock through internal release of its locking mechanism and remove the cowl panel grommet before taking out the cable from the vehicle. Before installing the new cable the installer must route it to the vehicle body while positioning the grommet on the cowl panel. You should insert the cable into the shifter cable adjustable lock until the locking tab is securely seated. A tool may help if correct seating poses a challenge while keeping the top of the locking tab even with the housing. The installation process requires the cable to be connected first to the transmission shifter base then the console can be reinstalled before joining the cable to the cable bracket and fastening the terminal to the transmission manual shift lever pin. Check that the shift lever stands in the park position before locking the adjustable component securely while confirming it is correctly seated.
