I just recieved a new TV detent cable and I was wondering how hard is it to swap and to expect. The reason I am changing the cable is because the metal tang that adjusts the detent cable is frozen stuck.

 

ez to put on the transmission on 10mm bolt and pull out and unhook..(youall see) and rehook.. the hard part come when you need to hook it up to the motor...i could not get my old one out so i just rehooked the old one to new trans..

 

I figured that would be the hard part. I tried using pliers to squeeze that plastic part but to no avail.

 

its not hard, but its a pain in the butt.

I hate dropping the tranny pan, its times-taking, but its not hard at all.

 

From what I remember (although it's been a few years), you don't need to drop the trans pan. Remember to clean all the dirt/grime away from the grommet where the TV cable enters the trans case BEFORE you undo the 10mm bolt at the trans. You don't want crap falling into the pan!
