• Q: How to remove the shift cable from the C50 MANUAL TRANSAXLE on 2008 Toyota Yaris?

  A: An operator must begin shift cable removal from C50 MANUAL TRANSAXLE by disconnecting the cable from the negative end of the battery. The Hatchback requires separating the shift lever knob sub-assembly along with the rear console box assembly. The shift lever knob sub-assembly along with the lower center instrument panel finish panel, upper console panel sub-assembly, upper rear console panel sub-assembly, console box carpet and rear console box assembly need to be removed during the Sedan procedure. The maintenance starts with disconnecting the oxygen sensor connector followed by removing the exhaust pipe assembly front. Use a pair of pliers to uninstall the front floor heat insulator No.1 through the process of removing its 2 bolts and nut. The first task for transmission control cable assembly removal involves disconnecting the control shift cable from the shift lever and turning the lock to free it before separating the control shift cable from the shift lever retainer. First disconnect the shift lever control select cable by removing its clip and cable from the shift lever then turn the lock to unlock the cable before separating it from the shift lever retainer. First remove both clips and washers which disconnect the two cables from the transaxle transmission. Then disconnect both cables that run through the control cable bracket through removing additional clips. The last part of the procedure demands removing three nuts to separate the transmission control cable.
