• Q: How to Properly Install a Shift Cable for the U340E Automatic Transaxle on 2008 Toyota Yaris?

  A: Start the U340E automatic transaxle transmission control cable assembly installation by tightening the control cable onto the control shaft lever with a 12 Nm (122 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf) torque using the nut. The control cable assembly requires installation after installing the cable to the control cable bracket with a new clip followed by connecting it to the clamp and securing with three nuts torqued to 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 in-lbf). The cable outer needs its lock to be turned before being installed onto the shift lever retainer while facing upward and extending beyond portion A-A. The adjusting mechanism lock should be positioned on the left side of the vehicle during cable to shift lever connection. The front No. 1 floor heat insulator requires two bolts and a nut which should be tightened to 5.5 Nm (56 kgf-cm, 49 in-lbf). After that install the front exhaust pipe assembly along with connecting the oxygen sensor connector through the floor panel hole from the room side before you set the grommet and join the oxygen sensor connector. Place the air cleaner bracket together with its assembly on the vehicle before setting the battery tray with its battery. Position the shift lever correctly and proceed to mount the rear console box assembly followed by console box carpet then rear console box cover (for hatchback), rear upper console panel sub-assembly (for sedan), upper console panel sub-assembly (for sedan), center lower instrument panel finish panel (for sedan). Exhaust gas leakage should be checked as the final step in this process.
