How do you repair shift cable on a 1995 Chevy G-20 van free diagram?

Answer 1

My guess is that you unscrew the plastic panel of the dash board below the steering wheel. Then you unscrew the two screws that hold the brace that supports the bottom of the steering wheel. this will allow the steering wheel to fall down a little. Then you reach far under the steering wheel down by the pedals and remove the screws for that other brace that is right at the bottom. there are at least 6 this will allow the steering wheel to lower even more. Then you carefully remove the plastic end of the cable that fits onto the nipple at the steering wheel. Don't ruin it . Don't stretch it any more than you have to.

Then you move forward along the cable and remove the staple like cotter pin thing from that device that the cable runs through. Then you squeeze together the little tabs on the collar of the cable that is rear ( towards you ) of that device, and once they are squeezed feed the cable and collar through the device towards the front of the van. That is as far as i got. Next i would think that you could maybe remove the part of the cable that gets wider, or maybe it will fit throught the firewall. Or maybe just widen the hole in the firewall. then feed it through the area under the hood, and pop that part that attaches to the bulkhead out , and then remove it from the brace it runs through near the trans by removing another staple like cotter pin.then unscrew the screw on the post that comes out of the trans. DON't try to pop off the plastic from the nipple on this end. YOu will ruin it. It will pop off while driving then. just leave the freaking metal arm on it and have the ... Oh wait you want to repair it, so you have to get a new one anyway. So i guess its ok to ruin it. i don't know. i am getting tired of this shit. Also there is some white plastic pin near that brace but i dont think it is worth taking off. i could not find any apparant way of removing the little metal rods from the more flexible portions of the cable. Even after taking that white plastic thing out.
