Question 1

How to replace the shift cable for 2.9L and 3.7L engines on Chevrolet Colorado?

Accepted Answer

The replacement process of the shift cable requires 2.9L and 3.7L engines to be parked while raising and supporting the vehicle. The boot area of the cable should not be exposed to any pulling forces. A flat bladed tool should be used to disconnect the shift cable from the transmission range selector lever ball stud by inserting the tool between both components. You should first remove the retainer from the cable then push its locking tabs inward to free it from the bracket. Make an opening into the floor panel by pushing the cable grommet upward then lower the vehicle. Next remove the left hinge pillar trim and pull up the carpet to reach the cable while you disconnect its retainer which is anchored to the lower dash panel. Use a flat blade to disconnect the shift cable which is attached to the transmission range selector lever ball stud by prying the cable end off. Free the cable through the retainer by pulling its locking tabs before you remove it from the steering column bracket. Finally, remove the cable from the vehicle. New shift cable installation requires workers to push it downward through the floor panel before seating the grommet and guiding the cable through the dash mat while attaching the retainer to the lower dash panel. Connect the cable toward the steering column bracket while anchoring the retainer onto the cable. The cable end must be installed onto the range selector lever ball stud while you reposition the driver's side carpet followed by checking the area beneath the accelerator pedal to verify it moves freely. You should install the left hinge pillar trim panel before raising and supporting the vehicle again to install the shift cable on the bracket followed by the cable retainer. The primary lock lockout pin should be removed when installing a new cable after which you must adjust the automatic transmission shift cable before lifting the vehicle down.

Question 2

How to replace the Shift Cable for the 4T65-E Automatic Transmission Range Selector on Chevrolet Malibu?

Accepted Answer

The replacement process for the 4t65-e automatic transmission range selector cable should start with applying the park brake along with wheel chocks before proceeding. Raise the retainer fully away from the transaxle range selector cable assembly before you detach the transaxle range selector cable from the manual shift lever pin. Push the locking tabs inside to pull out the transaxle range selector cable from its bracket before taking out the console. The transaxle range selector cable needs its terminal disconnected from the shift lever pin followed by a pull on the lock release before removal of the transaxle range selector cable from the console. At the cowl panel disconnect the Shift Cable grommet before you eliminate the Shift Cable from the vehicle. Seating the Shift Cable behind the cowl panel grommet allows installation of the range selector cable onto the console joined with the lock release attachment. The shift lever pin should receive the transaxle range selector cable terminal while the console gets reinstalled and the transaxle range selector cable gets set in the bracket. The installation process ends with attaching the transaxle range selector cable terminal to the transaxle manual shift lever pin alongside inserting the retainer into the transaxle range selector cable mechanism before adjusting the automatic transmission range selector cable.

Question 3

How to remove and install the shift cable for the 4L80-E Automatic Transmission on Chevrolet Tahoe?

Accepted Answer

The 4l80-e automatic transmission Shift Cable features split sections which facilitate separate removal of its column end (front half) or transmission-end (rear half). Begin Shift Cable removal by setting the steering column shift lever to park and by raising the vehicle to its highest position. Follow this procedure for Shift Cable removal: first position transmission manual shaft to mechanical park then remove transmission bracket retainer before detaching Shift Cable terminal shaft end from transmission shift lever ball stud. The transmission bracket welcomes the Shift Cable's removal through performing two steps. First press the conduit end fitting's lower and upper tangs simultaneously before gently pushing the cable rearward. The center connector on transmission Shift Cable features a white plastic cover you can pull back while manipulating the center tabs of the lock button to extract an e-clip through radial motion at its central section. Throw away the removed e-clip and take off the center connector ends from the Shift Cable. Using a new e-clip take a straight down approach to secure the cable end. Start by putting the steering column shift lever into park position then remove the steering column shroud followed by the driver's seat before you peel the carpet and insulation away from around the driver's area. First detach the retainer holding the Shift Cable to the steering column and pull off the terminal shaft end from the ball stud and detach the conduit end fitting from the steering column bracket. When removing the Shift Cable from its support be cautious not to expose it to undesired twisting or bending forces. The Shift Cable grommet must be extracted from the floor panel. Using a second person to help raise the vehicle remove the two clips from the Shift Cable which are attached to the floor panel reinforcement. First remove the transmission manual shaft ball stud cable terminal end fitting before discarding the e-clip. A pre-installed e-clip ships with the front portion of the Shift Cable. Installation requires the following sequence: set the parking positions for steering column shift lever and transmission manual shaft lever then connect the Shift Cable clips to floor panel reinforcement followed by passing the Shift Cable through the floor panel hole before adding the grommet. Spend time lowering the vehicle so you can connect the conduit end fitting to its bracket on the steering column while making sure tangs completely lock into position. Secure the Shift Cable terminal shaft end to the steering column ball stud with its retainer. Lay the Shift Cable onto the support then secure the bolt to 10 nm (89 inch lbs.) tension before putting back the carpet and insulation and driver's seat and steering column shroud. Raise the vehicle one last time to push the end of cable into cable while using the left hand to hold the front half and the right hand to hold the rear half. Align cable diameters before fully compressing the blue spring. Allow cable to release so the blue spring tightens the system. Next, pull back the white cover on cable while pushing the natural colored lock button to set the locking teeth. A successful check on the lock involves ensuring the white cover properly hides the lock. Perform the necessary steps again if necessary. Testing the transmission's operation occurs after lowering the vehicle while adjusting the Shift Cable if the desired gear positions remain unattainable.
