• Q: How to remove the shift cable from the E351 manual transaxle on 2008 Toyota Camry?

  A: Before removing the E351 manual transaxle shift cable you must disconnect its negative battery terminal connection. Begin the E351 manual transaxle shift cable removal process by discarding the No. 1 and No. 2 instrument cluster finish panel garnishes followed by the shift lever knob sub-assembly and the upper console panel. The next step is to remove the upper console rear panel sub-assembly to separate the transmission control cable assembly by removing 2 clips then disconnecting the cable end followed by pulling out the control cable assembly locks while adjusting the adjust nut to 180 degrees clockwise when holding it. Start by removing successively the instrument panel safety pad sub-assembly and both the air conditioner unit assembly and center air bag sensor assembly. The next step requires the removal of No. 1 engine cover sub-assembly followed by the air cleaner inlet assembly and then air cleaner cap sub-assembly and finishing with the air cleaner case sub-assembly. Severing the transmission control cable assembly requires removing the battery first followed by discarding the clips and washers to disconnect the two cables from the transaxle and pulling out the two clips to disconnect the two cables from the control cable bracket and extracting the two bolts with the control cable assembly and the No. 2 shift cable grommet retainer.
