2010 Chevrolet Impala Shift Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the automatic transmission shift cable on 2010 Chevrolet Impala?

  A: The initial step to replace the automatic transmission range selector cable demands air cleaner outlet duct removal from both 3.5l and 3.9l engines. The first step involves disconnecting the cable from its position on the wiring harness clip or strap and eradicating the cable retainer. The cable extraction process starts with removing it from both the automatic transaxle range selector lever as well as the cable bracket. The floor console requires removal before you can reach the cable by pulling back the carpet. You must detach the cable retainer from the console shift control before removing the cable from both the console shift control and its bracket. The left knee bolster bracket needs removal when the model has steering column shift control. A mechanics wire should be attached to the cable's endpoint before pushing it through the cowl opening and removing the wire. The new cable needs to go through the cowl hole and attach to the shift control lever according to installation requirements. The left knee bolster bracket needs reinstallation followed by cable attachment to both the console shift control bracket and the console shift control where the retainer should be secured. The carpet needs to be placed before reatting the front floor console. The cable installation requires correct routing and proper connection to both cable bracket and lever components. First set the transaxle to neutral position then link both cable sections by inserting the shift control metal end fitting into the transaxle end until it snaps. Press the adjuster clip down to unlock the adjuster housing mechanism. Then align the end fittings before fully pressing the clip to achieve cable locking position. Complete adjustment of the conduit requires pulling it to check that the horseshoe clip completely engages with the tube surface. The cable installation requires final steps which include connecting it to a wiring harness clip or strap then readjusting the cable before reinstalling the air cleaner outlet duct.
