Shift Cable (Transmission 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. Install the rear half transmission end of the range selector cable to the vehicle. Install the cable to the clips on the transfer case, if equipped. Align and install the cable to the bracket. Install the retainer that secures the cable to the bracket.
  2. Install a new E-clip to the front half (steering column end) of the cable. See Figure. 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 Figure.
  3. Grasp the front half (steering 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. 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 (2) is fully compressed. See Figure.
  4. 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.
  5. Release the cable end (2) and allow the blue spring to tension/adjust the cable system. Pull the White cover (3) on the cable end (1) back. Push the Natural colored lock button (2) down to engage the locking teeth on the cable end (1). See Figure.
  6. Release the White cover (1). See Figure. Verify the White cover (1) conceals the Natural colored lock (2). See Figure. If the White cover (1) does not conceal the Natural colored lock (2), repeat the cable adjustment procedure.
  7. 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. See SHIFT CABLE  under ADJUSTMENTS.
