  Q: How to replace the SHIFT CABLE ASSY (MTM) on Scion xA?

  A: The repair process of the TRANSMISSION CONTROL CABLE ASSY (MTM) starts with FRONT FLOOR HEAT INSULATOR NO.1, SHIFT LEVER KNOB SUB-ASSY and CONSOLE BOX ASSY REAR removal. Begin the FLOOR SHIFT SHIFT LEVER ASSY separation by disconnecting the wire harness while removing its 4 bolts. The next step requires detaching the clip then removing the TRANSMISSION CONTROL CABLE ASSY by using a screwdriver to release the claw from the floor shift shift lever assy so the cable end of the transmission control select cable could be separated from the shift lever retainer. The process must be repeated for the transmission control shift cable until both clips together with the two washers are removed to free the cables from the manual transaxle and control cable bracket. First remove 2 bolts with their corresponding floor retainer before disconnecting it from the grommet and taking out both cables from the floor hole. After bolting down the clamp at 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 inch lbs.) torque setting install the transmission control cables through the floor opening to secure them on the grommet by aligning their projections into the retainer holes. The floor installation of the retainer requires two bolts which should be tightened to 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 inch lbs.). After that step, mount the transmission control cable assy to the shift lever retainer. Both cables require connection to the floor shift shift lever assy where the serrate select cable end should face upward while its clip installs appropriately. Connect the cable ends and put on the two washers and two clips before installing the two new clips to the control cable bracket. Fit the 4 floor shift shift lever assy bolts and torque them to 12 Nm (120 kgf-cm, 9 ft. lbs.). Then restore the connection of the wire harness before reattaching the CONSOLE BOX ASSY REAR and SHIFT LEVER KNOB SUB-ASSY and FRONT FLOOR HEAT INSULATOR NO.1 with 5.5 Nm (56 kgf-cm, 49 inch lbs. torque).
