How to replace the floor shift cable on Chevrolet Cobalt?

Question

Accepted Answer

Vehicle elevation and support become essential steps before starting to replace the floor shift control cable. The Shift Cable retaining nut close to the Exhaust Heat Shield must be removed and the Shift Cable needs detachment from the transmission cable bracket. First disconnect the Shift Cable from both the park/neutral position switch and the lower area of the vehicle. Then remove the console and separate the Shift Cable from its connection at the shift control assembly. Safely position aside the front carpet from the driver side while removing the grommet from the Floor Pan. Push the cable steadily through the driver floor opening to extract it from inside the vehicle. The new cable needs to pass through the driver floor opening before placing the grommet level with the floor opening. Put the front driver carpet in position while you link the Shift Cable to the shift control assembly. After installing the console attach the Shift Cable to two components. First mount it onto the park/neutral position switch then direct it toward the transmission cable bracket. Lift the vehicle then install the retaining Shift Cable nut which should be located next to the Exhaust Heat Shield and tightened to 10 nm (89 lb in). Verify shift control cable operation by lowering the vehicle while performing a check of cable adjustment across all gear ranges. Shift control cable adjustment becomes necessary when the vehicle requires it.
