I'm in the process of pulling my (2006 2.4L, 5 speed) engine and trans. I need to unhook the shift cables at the transmission.

The factory service manual only says to remove it without explaining how.

The cables have a soft plastic end that attach to a metal stud on the transmission shift mechanism. I assume its some sort of ball mechanism since you can pivot them around. I can't figure out how to unhook them. There are no visible fasteners. The connection is inside the plastic part.

Does anyone have any info on removing them?

Thanks
Steve

 

just pop it off, simple ball and socket, the nylon is slightly more than hemi spherical

 

Thanks, Don.

I will be continuing the removal tonight, so I needed the info to continue.
