• Q: How to Properly Install a Shift Cable for the U250E Automatic Transaxle on 2008 Toyota Camry?

  A: The first step to install the U250E AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE transmission control cable assembly requires passing the cable assembly through the cabin to the engine compartment and the No. 2 shift cable grommet retainer installation using 2 bolts with torque at 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 in-lbf). Place the transmission control cable assembly so its floor shift cable uneven surface faces upward and its claws tightly hug the floor shift cable. The control cable requires attachment to its clamp and bracket using a new clip before connecting the transmission control cable to the control shaft lever while tightening the nut to 15 Nm (150 kgf-cm, 11 ft-lbf). Press the transmission control cable lock piece strongly to activate the slider lock while keeping the boot from getting misshapen. The correct sequence of installation includes placing the air cleaner case sub-assembly followed by the air cleaner cap sub-assembly and the air cleaner inlet assembly and the battery. During the last stage of installation you should install your air conditioner unit while performing required shift lever position checks.
