Shift Cable (Column End): Installation

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 13 other vehicles, including the 2002 GMC Yukon XL, 2002 GMC Yukon, 2002 GMC Sierra, 2002 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, and 2002 GMC C3500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Route the cable through the hole in the floor panel. Install the cable to the clips on the transfer case, if equipped. Install the 2 clips on the cable to the floor panel reinforcement. Lower the vehicle. Ensure the gearshift lever is in the PARK position. Install the cable grommet to the floor panel.
  2. Install the cable to the steering column bracket. Ensure the tangs fully seat (snap) into the steering column bracket. Install the retainer (2) securing the cable to the steering column. Install the cable end (1) to the steering column ball stud. See Fig 3.
  3. Install the cable to the support. Install the bolt securing the cable support to the brace. Tighten the bolt to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Install the carpet and insulation around the driver's area. Install the instrument panel knee bolster. See REMOVAL & INSTALLATION in appropriate SHIFT INTERLOCK SYSTEMS article in AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS.
  4. Raise and support the vehicle. Ensure the transmission manual shaft lever is in the mechanical Park position. Install the range selector cable end (2) to the transmission range selector lever ball stud (1). See Fig 1.
  5. The new front half (column end) of the cable will contain a new pre installed E-clip. Grasp the front half (column end) of the transmission cable (1) in the left hand and the rear half (transmission end) of the transmission cable (2) in the right hand. See Fig 6.
  6. Align the outside diameter of cable (2) with the inside of the diameter of cable (1). Push the end of the cable (2) inside the end of cable (1) until the Blue spring on cable is fully compressed. Pushing together the 2 ends of the cable will engage the inner wire and lock both cable wires together.
    NOTE: This step must be performed correctly to avoid a misadjusted cable. Do not grasp the cable end (2) during this procedure.
  7. Release the cable end (2) and allow the Blue spring to tension/adjust the cable system. See Figure. Pull the White cover (3) on the cable end (1) back. See Figure. Push the Natural colored lock button (2) down to engage the locking teeth on the cable end (1). See Figure.
  8. Release the White cover (1). See Figure. Verify the White cover (1) conceals the Natural colored lock (2). If the White cover (1) does not conceal the Natural colored lock (2), repeat the cable adjustment procedure.
  9. Lower the vehicle and test the transmission for proper shift operation. If all of the gear positions cannot be achieved, repeat the cable adjustment procedure.
