• Q: How to remove the U151E automatic transaxle shift cable assembly on 2008 Toyota Highlander?

  A: The first step to remove the U151E automatic transaxle transmission control cable assembly is disconnecting the negative battery terminal. The next step involves battery removal then the sequence continues with cool air intake duct seal followed by NO. 2 air cleaner inlet and finally NO. 1 air cleaner inlet before proceeding to air cleaner cap sub-assembly then air cleaner filter element sub-assembly. First disconnect the air cleaner case sub-assembly and air cleaner bracket followed by the air conditioning unit. To start remove the transmission control cable assembly disconnect the assembly from the control shaft lever after taking off the nut from the control shaft lever. The assembly requires disconnection from the control cable bracket after removing its clip and then removing it from the NO. 2 transmission control cable bracket. The assembly becomes dismounted from the vehicle by removing three bolts but before this you must disconnect the cable end from the shift lever assembly using a screwdriver then perform a counterclockwise turn of the transmission control cable assembly socket to remove the stopper cap.
