To do this, release the coolant reservoir first. Subsequently, in the driver's compartment, remove the mounting nuts and bolts of the parking brake pedal assembly which is situated under the dash and set it aside. Now unbolt the shift cable grommet at the firewall by using nut-bolt duo before detaching the cable and the bracket from the firewall. Release the steering column covers, or unlock the steering column; undo the steering column to body mounting bolts; and finally lower the steering column. Inside the dashboard above the steering column, very gingerly, remove the shift cable end from the selector shaft. Pull the shift cable to remove it from the bracket and at the same time tighten the lock tabs. Lift the car up on safety stands, remove the undervehicle splash shield of the side of interest, then loosen the nut which connects shift cable to the end and detach the shift cable from the transaxle shift lever. To detach the shift cable, perhaps by loosening it from the locking pin where it connects with the bracket, one has to use a small screwdriver. During the installation, the shift cable has to be threaded through the opening provided in the firewall part, pass through the cable area of the driver's compartment, and then the finished part of the cable must be connected to the selector lever. In the transaxle area, position the shift cable onto the transaxle shift lever that will also fix to the bracket. Replace the coolant reservoir, and slide the shift cable grommet over the sus-tained studs on the firewall, then tightened the nuts to the required spec. To do this, perform shift lever through all the gears to ensure that all the gears are well positioned. For adjustment, safely lift the vehicle on jackstands, then, disconnect the splah protect plate beneath the engine and the inner left side of the splash shield. Pull the shift selector lever to the PARK position and set the shift indicator cable in the correct position. Remove the cotter pin and nut from the range sensor lock nut of the linkage arm then rotate the shift cable upwards to take the slack; afterwards, tighten the lock nut to the recommended torque. Last, with the engine off, operate the shift lever through all the gears, then start the engine and, with the shift lever in each gear, turn on the starter.
