• Q: How to replace the automatic transmission shift cable on 2003 GMC Envoy?

  A: The procedure of replacing the Shift Cable requires starting with the vehicle in park position followed by vehicle lift and removal of the end of the Shift Cable from the transmission range selector lever ball stud. Reach inside the transmission to uninstall the Shift Cable end from its ball stud position on the lever. Then detach the retaining clamp. Begin replacement of the Shift Cable by first removing cable attachments from the bracket then unfastening it from the floor panel retainer although 4wd vehicles also require cable removal from Transfer Case retainers. The cable grommet needs pushing through the floor panel while lowering the vehicle. Begin by taking out the console together with the driver's side front mat as well as carpet. The installation requires removal of the Shift Cable end that comes out of the floor control ball stud followed by removal of the Shift Cable from the floor shift control assembly. Before working on the Shift Cable you must take away the grommet and tape from the floor panel. The installation process requires cable descent through the floor panel before mounting the grommet and connecting the Shift Cable to both the floor shift control assembly and floor control ball stud. Reinstall the driver side front mat followed by the carpet before you return the console to its position. You should next mount the vehicle before installing the cable into the box retainers which exist within the floor panel structure or the Transfer Case system for four-wheel-drives. Use the Shift Cable to bracket the attachment then secure the retainer onto the attached cable. The end of the Shift Cable should be connected to the transmission range selector lever ball stud while adjusting the cable and performing a vehicle check for correct operation.
