• Q: How to install the Shift Cable assembly for the U151E AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE on 2008 Toyota Highlander?

  A: The first step of transmission control cable assembly installation for the U151E AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE begins with attaching the assembly socket to shift lever assembly before securing the control cable end to shift lever assembly. The stopper cap should be pushed onto the socket while ensuring that the protruding end faces upward for inner cable torsion prevention and checking the connection between the socket and shift lock control unit remains secure. Connect the No. 1 transmission control cable bracket to the assembly using 12 Nm (122 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf) torque while the assembly should be fixed to the bracket by three bolts torqued to 4.9 Nm (50 kgf-cm, 43 in-lbf). The assembly can be fastened to this shaft lever using the nut while a new clip holds it to the bracket. Proceed by installing the air conditioning unit followed by the air cleaner bracket and then the remainder of air cleaning components including the filter element and cap assemblies alongside the No. 1 inlet and No. 2 inlet and cool air intake duct seal. Begin by attaching the battery before connecting the cable at the negative battery terminal. End the procedure by adjusting then inspecting the shift lever placement.
