GM 15189198 Automatic Transmission Range Selector Lever Cable Assembly

To remove the shift cable, start by detaching the cable from the negative terminal of the battery and applying the parking brake. Then, block the rear wheels and shift the transmission into Neutral. If applicable, remove the transfer case shield and pry the cable end from the transmission control lever stud. Remove the cable from the transmission oil pan clip and the horseshoe retainer from the shift cable housing. Squeeze the cable retainer and pull the cable toward the back of the vehicle to disconnect it. For vehicles with a column shift, remove the steering column trim filler panel, and for floor shift vehicles, pry the shift cable from the shift lever. Remove the horseshoe clip retaining the cable to the bracket on the steering column and squeeze the cable retainer to remove the cable from the bracket. If necessary, remove the floor console, cowl trim panel, door sill trim plate, seat, and front carpet, and pry the cable grommet from the floor before removing the cable and grommet from the vehicle.

Raise the vehicle again and place it securely on jackstands, ensuring the transfer case lever is in the Neutral position.

Guide the end through the hole in the shift cable housing and push it into the shift fork shaft. Thread the coupling nut into the shift cable housing and tighten it to the proper torque specifications.

Route the cable to the actuator, ensuring there are no kinks or bends.
