  Q: How to service and repair the shift cable on Buick LeSabre?

  A:

  Service and repair of shift cable requires initiating the removal of throttle body air inlet duct first. Start by detaching the retaining clip from the automatic transaxle range selector cable with the flat-bladed tool followed by extracting the cable from the cable lever through large flat-bladed tool usage. Use pliers to flatten down the retainers before taking out the cable from the automatic transaxle range selector cable bracket. The service starts by removing the knee bolster while proceeding to detach the column control lever and steering column bracket cable alongside the retaining clip. Pull the cable entirely through the opening found in the cowl. The cable installation requires directing the automatic transaxle range selector cable properly through the engine compartment and feeding the piece through the cowl. The cable must be fitted to both the steering column bracket and the column control lever by using the retaining clip. Place the knee bolster back in position before installing the automatic transaxle range selector cable to the bracket along with the lever and retain it with the clip. Reposition the automatic transaxle range selector cable before reattaching the throttle body air inlet duct together with the cable adjustment.

  Q: How to replace the automatic transmission shift cable on Buick LeSabre?

  A:

  The process of changing an Automatic Transmission Range Selector Cable requires setting the park brake and wheel chock installation as the first step. After raising the retainer all the way free from the cable mechanism extract the transaxle range selector cable terminal away from the manual shift lever pin. Depress the locking tabs until the transaxle range selector cable detaches from the bracket before you can take off the left closeout/insulator panel. First remove the retaining clip attached to the cable then extract the range selector cable through both the column control lever as well as steering column bracket and finally through the cowl opening. Install the range selector cable by directing it through the engine compartment before passing it through the cowl to attach it to the steering column bracket and secure it with the retaining clip. The range selector cable needs to be connected to the column control lever while the left IP close-out panel must be reinstalled before placing the transaxle range selector cable into its bracket. The transaxle range selector cable terminal must be connected to the manual shift lever pin of the transaxle before installing the retainer to the range selector cable mechanism for cable adjustment.
