How to remove and adjust the shift cable on Pontiac G5?

To remove the shift cable, first disconnect it at the transaxle and test the shifter to see if it moves smoothly without the cable. If adjustment is needed, follow these steps: raise the front of the vehicle and secure it on jackstands. Next, remove the nut securing the cable, lower the vehicle, remove the center console, and push aside the carpet. Pry the shift cable end from the shift lever pin using a flat-blade screwdriver, pry the U-shaped shift cable retaining clip away from the cable, and place a blanket over the driver's fender. Find the shift lever in the engine compartment and disconnect the cable end from it.

Pontiac G5 Shift Cable

The Pontiac G5 Shift Cable allows the driver to move the gear lever and have the transmission respond instantly. This enables smooth and accurate gear selection every time. The original Pontiac compacts relied on a solid linkage rod connection to the transaxle. However, the sporty G5 coupe and sedan models switched to the Shift Cable. This arrangement allows the Shift Cable to run through the floor and firewall. It minimizes vibration at the shifter and opens up space for more storage in the console. Inside the sheath, a steel core is a sliding mechanism that moves back and forth as the lever is pushed. The movement takes place directly to the manual lever on the transaxle and on automatic versions transmits to the selector arm, thus stepping through the familiar PRNDL sequence. The Shift Cable offers superior resistance to damage from road splashes when compared to the older rod setup. Moreover, by reducing wear and tear in exposed joints, it prevents a loose feel caused by old bushings. If the cable stretches, bends, or snaps, the gears may not change, but replacing the Shift Cable will give you crisp engagement again in minutes and requires minimal tools. Every G5, regardless of trim, relies on one Shift Cable to keep its transmission obedient and its drive safe for any Pontiac fan, let alone the G5 owner.

Each OEM Pontiac G5 Shift Cable we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
