2007 Toyota Solara Shift Cable Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the floor shift cable transmission control select on 2007 Toyota Solara?

  A: Primarily start the repair sequence of floor shift cable transmission control select by removing the instrument panel safety pad subassembly with the passenger air bag assembly after observing all restraint systems and service precautions. The sequence of work starts with removing the air conditioning radiator assembly and the air bag sensor assembly center. Start by separating the floor shift cable transmission control select by unknotting the clip and washer which detaches the top cable section from the transaxle and then removing the clip and cable from the control cable bracket. First dismantle the select cable from the shift lever retainer by turning the lock and then detach the top of the select cable from the shift lever assembly by removing the clip. Unbolt the two retainer set bolts on the floor then detach the retainer from the grommet before disconnecting the select cable from the grommet for pulling it through the floor hole and retainer. Installing the select cable requires passing it through the floor hole and retainer before connecting it to the grommet then installing the retainer onto the grommet with its three projections properly inserted into all three retainer holes. After tightening the two retainer set bolts to 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 inch lbs.), attach the select cable to the shift lever retainer with the following conditions: make sure the cable outer faces upward and the cable outer lock should project from location A according to the indication label. Install the top end of the select cable onto the shift lever assembly before adding the clip whose serrated edge faces upward then join the select cable to the control cable bracket through a new clip. The last task involves hooking the select cable to the transaxle while you insert both a washer and a clip before replacing the air bag sensor assembly center and air conditioning radiator assembly and instrument panel safety pad subassembly with the passenger air bag assembly.
