How to remove and install the shift cable for the 4L60-E Automatic Transmission on Chevrolet Suburban 1500?

Question

Accepted Answer

The 4l60-e automatic transmission Shift Cable operates through two distinct sections because each segment can be separated from the column end or transmission end individually. The process to remove the Shift Cable starts with setting the steering column shift lever to park and then elevating the vehicle. The manual transmission shaft must be placed in mechanical park before using a tool to extract the retainer securing the Shift Cable terminal shaft end while also detaching the terminal shaft end from the transmission shift lever ball stud. You must remove the Shift Cable from the transmission bracket by pushing the rear of the vehicle with both tangs depressed on the conduit end fitting. Move to the middle portion of the transmission Shift Cable to find its center connector where you should gently pull on the white plastic cover before lifting both center tabs on the lock button. Remove the existing e-clip by pulling the center section radially and detach the Shift Cable center connector ends before pulling out the cable half from the vehicle. The new e-clip needs installation onto the Shift Cable end but only after setting the steering column shift lever properly in the park position. After removing the steering column shroud and driver seat users need to strip back carpet and insulation layers in the driver space. The first step involves removing the Shift Cable retainer from the steering column followed by a terminal shaft end disconnection from the ball stud and extraction of the conduit end fitting from the steering column bracket. Carry out the bolt removal procedure for the Shift Cable support to its brace with proper Shift Cable restraint to prevent excessive torque on the Shift Cable. Next disconnect the Shift Cable from this support and then break free the floor panel grommet. After elevating the vehicle once more you should remove both clips from the Shift Cable which are mounted on the floor panel reinforcement. Disconnect the cable terminal end fitting near the transmission manual shaft ball stud and discard the e-clip that you remove. You will find the new Shift Cable front section already includes an e-clip during purchase. Begin installation by setting both the steering column shift lever and transmission manual shaft lever to park position while you will then install two clips on the Shift Cable to the floor panel reinforcement before passing the Shift Cable through floor panel holes and install the grommet. South the vehicle while you attach the Shift Cable conduit end fitting to the steering column bracket where it needs to seat the tangs completely. Hook the Shift Cable terminal shaft end to the steering column ball stud before attaching it with the designated retainer. The installation of Shift Cable at support requires tightening bolt to a torque value of 10 nm (89 inch lbs.). The next procedure includes returning the carpet and insulation and the driver's seat along with the steering column shroud. Raise the car again then use one hand to hold the transmission cable front section and the second hand to hold the back section before aligning them before pushing the rear cable end into the front cable until you reach full compression of the blue spring. After releasing the rear cable end the blue spring will adjust the system automatically while you draw back the white cover to reach the natural colored lock button for engaging the locking teeth. Carefully check whether the white cover successfully covers the lock. If it does not, you must go back and repeat the required steps. The final step includes lowering the vehicle for transmission shift operation testing as well as cable adjustment if you need to achieve all gear positions.
