• Q: How to replace the automatic transmission shift cable on 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer?

  A: The vehicle needs to be placed in park position with wheels in the air before starting the replacement of Shift Cable. Take off the retainer from the Shift Cable and then remove the end of the cable which connects to the transmission range selector lever ball stud. First detach the Shift Cable's bracket connection or separate it from the floor panel retainer and remove it from 4wd vehicle Transfer Case retainers as well. Drive the floor panel grommet upwards and then drop the vehicle to the ground. The next step requires you to uninstall the console and both the driver's side front mat and carpeting. Remove the Shift Cable from the floor control ball stud and take off the end of the cable before removing the assembly from the floor shift control. First remove the tape along with the grommet from the Shift Cable at the floor panel followed by removing the Shift Cable from the vehicle. Installation requires pushing down the cable through the floor panel before inserting the grommet while connecting Shift Cable to the floor shift control assembly and the floor control ball stud. Reinstall the driver's side front mat along with the carpet followed by reinstallation of the console. The vehicle should be elevated once more so technicians can mount the cable either to floor panel retainers or Transfer Case retainers for 4wd models. Accommodate the Shift Cable into the bracket while you install the retainer over the Shift Cable for fitting. Finish the Shift Cable connection by attaching it to the transmission range selector lever ball stud followed by adjusting the cable then inspecting vehicle operations after lowering the vehicle down.
