• Q: How to install the Shift Cable assembly for the U341E automatic transaxle on 2008 Scion xD?

  A: The installation process for the U341E automatic transaxle transmission control cable assembly begins with attaching it to the control shaft lever through the nut by tightening it to 12 Nm (122 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf). A new clip should be used to join the assembly to the control cable bracket while the cable marking points to the slit in the bracket. Install the assembly through the transmission control cable support while directing its path to run between the support and vehicle body. Before locking the assembly tighten 3 nuts to 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 in-lbf) then reverse the assembly nut before using a lock on the protruding section. Connect the assembly to the transmission floor shift assembly while the adjusting mechanism lock should be placed to the left-hand side of the vehicle. Ensure the protruding portion of the cable outer points upward when attaching the assembly to the shift lever retainer. Ensure the front NO. 1 floor heat insulator maintains 5.5 Nm (56 kgf-cm, 49 in-lbf) torque when securing it with 2 bolts and a nut. Follow by putting on the front exhaust pipe assembly together with the air cleaner bracket as well as the air cleaner assembly. The installation of batteries should begin with removing the battery tray followed by placing batteries inside. Examine and set the shift lever into its correct position if needed. Finish the installation by hanging front console box parts with rear console box sub-assembly followed by console box carpet and rear console box cover and upper console panel while performing exhaust gas leak inspections.
