• Q: How to service and repair the Shift Cable on 2007 Toyota Tacoma?

  A: The transmission control cable service process requires first removing the console upper rear panel subassembly then moving to the console box assembly rear followed by the instrument panel cup holder tray and finally the console box front. Service the transmission control cable by first removing the voltage inverter assembly along with disconnecting the transmission control cable assembly from the shift lever assembly and then removing the clip. To separate the assembly from the vehicle body start with a 2 nut removal followed by the additional nut then continue with clip removal from the transmission control cable as well as disconnection of the cable assembly. Installation of the transmission control cable assembly begins with its installation with the nut using 14 N m (143 kgf cm, 10 ft. lbf) torque. Install first the transmission control cable bracket followed by the lock plate before connecting the cable through its nut to the body while applying 5.5 N m (56 kgf cm, 49 in. lbf) torque. Continue by joining the cable to the body using two nuts at equal torque force of 5.5 N m (56 kgf cm, 49 in. lbf). Afterward connect the cable with the lock plate to the floor shift assembly then install the cable onto its surface. The assembler needs to first install the voltage inverter assembly, then move to the console box front, instrument panel cup holder tray and console box assembly rear followed by the console upper rear panel subassembly. Conclude the sequence by adjusting and checking the shift lever position.
