Question 1

How to replace the Shift Cable on a 2ML70 automatic transmission on Cadillac Escalade?

Accepted Answer

The procedure to replace the range selector lever cable of a 2ml70 automatic transmission begins by setting the Steering Column shift lever to park position then removing the instrument panel knee bolster. Begin by taking out both the driver seat and body hinge pillar trim panel followed by pulling carpeting and insulation out from the driver location. Steer clear from steel cable twists when you detach the Steering Column retainer then separate the cable end from its ball stud positioning before deforming the tangs to remove the cable from its housing. The support should first lose its connection to the cable while simultaneously removing the grommet from the floor panel. After lifiting the vehicle with support tools proceed to take off the cable clamps attached to the floor panel reinforcement. Secure the transmission manual shaft in mechanical park position before removing the range selector lever cable heat shield bolts as well as its heat shield. The range select lever receives a cable removal while technicians detach it from the lever and detach the cable retainer and the cable from the bracket. The installation process starts with the transmission range selector cable installation while the manual shaft lever remains in mechanical park. Connect the cable to the cable bracket while using the retainer before tying it to the range select lever. Secure the heat shield by tightening its bolts to 17 nm (13 lb ft). Lower the vehicle while inserting the clips onto the cable where it attaches to the floor panel reinforcement while keeping the Steering Column shift lever in the park position. The floor panel receives the cable grommet before the range selector cable connects to both its support and Steering Column bracket while making sure all tangs strongly engage. To complete the procedure connect the cable end to the ball stud of the Steering Column and then secure the retainer before repositioning the carpet and insulation and finally reinstalling the body hinge pillar trim panel as well as the driver seat and instrument panel knee bolster. Perform transmission testing for proper gear shift operation while adjusting the cable if all gear positions remain unattainable.

Question 2

How to replace the shift cable in the AF40-6 automatic transmission on Cadillac SRX?

Accepted Answer

The process to replace the AF40-6 automatic transmission range selector lever cable requires setting the park brake followed by wheel chocking. The cable terminal of the transmission range selector lever must be disconnected from transmission manual shift lever pin before sliding the retainer to free the cable from its bracket. The front floor console extension must be removed first followed by disconnecting the transmission range selector lever cable retainers from the support bracket. The floor panel grommet with cable assembly must be removed before sliding the transmission range selector lever cable retainer forward and pulling the cable out from the transmission control base. Separate terminal of the transmission range selector lever cable from shift lever pin and take the cable out of the vehicle. Install the new transmission range selector lever cable by placing it into position with the terminal attached to the shift lever pin. To install the cable on the transmission control base you should position the retainer behind the component then move the grommet to face the paint dot up after locking the retainer in place. Proceed with installing the grommet and cable assembly within the floor panel before you establish retainers to the support bracket and you can reinstall the front floor console extension. Conclude this process by linking the transmission range selector lever cable terminal with the transmission manual shift lever pin then place the cable inside the bracket before moving the retainer forward for retention. Adjust the cable as necessary.

Question 3

How to replace the Automatic Transmission Range Selector Shift Cable on Cadillac XLR?

Accepted Answer

The first step to replace the Shift Cable requires lifting and supporting the vehicle. Ensure the floor shift control and the transmission are set to neutral before proceeding during cable replacement. Secondly remove the driveline tunnel closeout panel but handle the Shift Cable with caution since its rod end guide tubes are stiff. The transmission shift angle is released from the floor shifting mechanism by using a wide flathead screwdriver to gently detach the Shift Cable end clip from supporting its floor mechanism. The Shift Cable is extracted from the driveline tunnel bracket when the cable retaining staple clip is pulled away from the cable letting the retaining tabs drop through the bracket hole and allowing the cable to slide out. Begin by gently detaching the Shift Cable end clip from the transmission shift lever stud before removing the Shift Cable from the Shift Cable bracket through staple clip removal by depressing its tabs then pushing them through the bracket hole before pulling the cable out. The Shift Cable installation starts with placing its smaller diameter end section into the bracket slot before pushing retaining tabs through the hole to become fixed and adding a staple clip for support. First attach the Shift Cable end to the floor shift control arm stud before placing the Shift Cable into the Shift Cable bracket slot up to the diameter opening while pushing retaining tabs through the hole followed by inserting the staple clip for security. Position the transmission shift lever stud into the Shift Cable end clip before applying this component. To install a new transmission Shift Cable users should remove its shipping guard from the adjuster lock and depress the adjuster lock. The operator must lower the vehicle on the hoist but keep it in position. Then they should confirm the Shift Cable works correctly by activating the parking brake followed by turning the Ignition Switch to on without engine start-up. Finally, they should apply normal vehicle brakes and shift through all gears to verify proper transmission shift lever sound. Perform the same procedure for the second shift from park to first before repeating it twice more. You should check the condition of the Shift Cable whenever the checking process reveals binding with no transmission sounds. After setting the floor shift control to park position, drivers need to let go of the regular brake and turn the ignition off before releasing the parking brake. Test the vehicle in a low-traffic area after supporting the vehicle to verify easy shifting between detents while maintaining each detent position.
