Shift Cable: Service and Repair
4T60-E Automatic Transaxle
A/T Range Selector Cable Replacement (New Cable Install Only)
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
CAUTION: The automatic transaxle range selector cable is made out of two cable sections. After initial connection never separate the two
metal couplings from one another Integrity of the connection of the two metal couplings will be lost if separation of the two metal couplings
occurs. When servicing the transaxle remove the cable at the automatic transaxle range selector lever and at the automatic transaxle range
selector cable bracket If either section of the cable needs to be replaced, replace both of the cable sections. Loss of connection integrity of the
two metal couplings can cause loss of transaxle shift control which could result in personal injury.
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Block the wheels.
3. Place the transaxle in the Neutral position.
4. Place the shift control in the Neutral position.
5. Connect each cable section to the following before connecting the two cable sections:
^
To the automatic transaxle range selector lever and shift cable bracket.
^
To the column or the console shift control and retainer or wiring harness clip.
6. Insert the metal end fitting of the shift control cable into the transaxle cable end.
7. Use the molded end fittings to push the metal end fitting of the shift control cable and the transaxle cable end together until the metal post snaps
into place.
8. Depress the adjuster clip once. This mobilizes the adjuster housing toward the transaxle end fitting.
9. Line up the end fittings so they slide together until you feel the parts cam together and lock.
10. Depress the adjuster clip completely. This locks the cable into its adjusted service position.
11. Pull the conduit in the opposite direction to assure full system adjustment of the shift cable.
