How to replace the Shift Cable for the range selector lever on 2.9L and 3.7L engines on GMC Canyon?

Accepted Answer

Helping the assembly process for the shift cable for vehicles with 2.9L or 3.7L engines requires placement in park position before vehicle elevation and support. When working with the cable boot do not use any force against it. Detach the shift cable from the transmission range selector lever ball stud by inserting a flat bladed tool between the cable end and lever to disconnect them. Push the cable locking tabs toward the inside to liberate the bracket retainer so it can be removed from the cable. The technician can insert the cable grommet through the floor panel while lowering the vehicle. First remove the left hinge pillar trim panel and then pull up the driver's side carpet to access the cable before you disconnect the shift cable retainer from the lower dash panel. A flat bladed tool must separate the cable end from the lever ball stud by inserting it between the cable end and lever stud so you can pry the cable end away from the lever. Release the cable retainer by removing its retaining retainer. Afterward push the locking tabs inside of the steering column bracket to free it up then detach the cable from the vehicle. To install the shift cable start by passing it down through the floor panel before setting the grommet and guiding the cable through the dash mat to connect the retainer to the lower dash panel. Connect the cable toward the steering column bracket followed by attaching the retainer to the cable. The cable end should be secured to the ball stud of the range selector lever while the driver's side carpet can be moved into position before checking under the accelerator pedal for proper movement. After raising and supporting the vehicle again you should install the left hinge pillar trim panel before putting the shift cable onto the bracket and placing the retainer on the cable. When installing a new cable on the shift function first remove the original primary lockout pin, then perform automatic transmission cable adjustment before the vehicle lowering.

How to replace the shift cable for the range selector lever on GMC Sierra 1500?

Accepted Answer

The replacement process for shift cables starts by setting the steering column shift lever into park position then lifting the vehicle. You should detach the clips between cable and floor panel reinforcement while keeping the transmission manual shaft in mechanical park. The first step consists of disconnecting the bracket retainer from the cable and eliminating the Transfer Case cable clip when present. Disconnect the Shift Cable end by removing it from the transmission range selector lever ball stud and then depress the cable tangs before pulling it out from the bracket. Lower the vehicle into position with the steering lever in park and take out the driver seat before pulling back the carpet material and driver space insulation. First untie the instrument panel knee bolster then loosen the retainer that connects the cable to the steering column before disconnecting the cable end from the steering column ball stud. Firmly pressing the tangs will allow you to remove the cable from the steering column bracket while preventing avoidable twists or bends in the Shift Cable. Take out the cable both from the support and remove the grommet installed in the floor panel. The cable must enter the vehicle while you install the floor panel grommet before checking that the cable remains untwisted and unbent. Position the Shift Cable onto the support while keeping the transmission manual shaft lever at mechanical park then connect the cable to the steering column bracket with full tang contact achieved. Position the cable end to the steering column ball stud then fasten it with the retainer. Install the carpet material along with the insulation and return the driver seat and instrument panel knee bolster to its original position. Gently lift the vehicle once more while performing proper alignment on the cable before securing it to its bracket followed by attaching the Shift Cable end to the transmission range selector lever ball stud and finishing by attaching the cable clip on the Transfer Case if present. After securing the cable to the bracket with the retainer, reattach its clips to the floor panel reinforcement while the vehicle remains in the raised position. A proper transmission shift test should be performed to confirm operational functionality. Further adjustments to the cable should also be done when obtaining all gear positions becomes challenging.
