This procedure is challenging for home mechanics as it involves removing the instrument panel and the HVAC module to replace the cables. First, have the air conditioning refrigerant discharged at a dealer or air conditioning shop. If the vehicle has been driven recently, allow several hours for the engine to cool down before starting. Disconnect both battery cables and wait at least two minutes. Next, remove the battery and battery tray, followed by the center console and the heater core/evaporator core housing. Remove the shift lever and disconnect the shift cables from it, then take out the clips securing the shift linkage cables to the shift lever arms at the transaxle, ensuring not to damage the spring clips. Release the cable housing ends at the transaxle from the support bracket, being careful with the plastic flanges. Disconnect and remove the airbag module in front of the console area, then remove the insulation pad and release the clips securing the airbag module harness. Remove the fasteners securing the transmission cable plate/grommet where the cable passes through the floor, and pull the shift cables through from the inside, noting that the grommet is part of the cable assembly. Installation is the reverse of removal, ensuring to adjust the new cable afterward. Refill and bleed the cooling system and have the refrigerant recharged. For adjustment, set the parking brake, remove the gearshift knob and center console trim panel, slide the safety lock away from the shifter ball stud, and the cable lock away from the shift cable end fitting. Place the shift lever in the center position, ensuring both the lever and transaxle are in Neutral, then push the cable lock onto the cable and slide the safety lock over the primary shift cable lock before reinstalling the center console trim panel and gearshift knob.

Remove the cable eye from the control arm on the transaxle.
