How do you check, adjust, and replace the shift cable on Nissan Maxima?

To check the shift lever, move it from the "P" position to the "1" position, ensuring you can feel the detents in each range; if not, adjust the shift cable. For adjustment, place the shift lever in "P," raise the vehicle securely on jackstands, and for 1993 and 1994 models, loosen the locknuts securing the cable to the shifter rod, while for 1995 and later models, loosen the shift cable-to-manual lever locknut and place the manual shaft lever in "P." For the earlier models, tighten the rear locknut until it contacts the shifter rod and then tighten the front locknut; for the later models, pull down on the cable while holding the manual shaft lever in position and tighten the locknut. After adjustment, move the shift lever from "P" to "1" to ensure smooth operation, then remove the jackstands and lower the vehicle. For replacement, remove the center console and center dash trim bezel, then for non-gated shifters, remove the shift lever handle, or for gated shifters, slide the cover below the shift knob downward to expose the clip, remove the clip, and pull the knob off. Next, remove the shift lever indicator panel for non-gated shifters or free the position indicator cover for gated shifters, then disconnect the shift cable from the shift lever and its base. Raise the vehicle again and disconnect the shift cable from the manual shaft lever, noting that 1993 and 1994 models use a clip while 1995 and later models require removing a retaining nut. Remove the C-clip from the shift cable bracket and disengage the cable, then installation is the reverse of removal, ensuring to adjust the cable afterward.
