Adjustments are not available for the shift cables. If the vehicle does not shift properly, check for bent brackets and verify the cables are correctly installed in the brackets and on the levers. Begin by raising the vehicle and supporting it securely on jackstands. For 2011 and earlier models, the shifter assembly and cables are one unit and cannot be replaced separately. Remove the battery, then take out the air filter housing and ducts for access to the top of the transaxle. Detach the cables from the shift lever on the transaxle, move the stopper on the side of the select cable connection forward, push in on the release button next to the stopper, and remove the cable from the select lever. Place the shifter in Neutral, then remove the center console and the four shifter assembly mounting bolts. Raise the vehicle again and support it securely on jackstands, then remove the exhaust system and heat shield from under the center of the vehicle to allow access to the shift cables. Remove the cable support bracket and the shift and select cables from the bracket, then remove the shifter and shift cables as an assembly from under the vehicle. Installation is the reverse of removal, ensuring to move the stopper into the locked position after connecting the select cable to the lever. For 2012 and later models, place the shifter in Neutral, remove the battery and battery tray, then detach the shift and select cables from the shift levers and brackets. Press the sides of the cable locks together to remove the shift and select cables from the bracket on the transaxle, then remove the center console. Pry off the shift and select cables from the shifter assembly, press the sides of the cable locks together again to remove the cables from the bracket on the shifter assembly, and then remove the four shifter assembly mounting bolts to take out the shifter assembly. Remove the exhaust system and heat shield from under the center of the vehicle to allow access to the shift cables, then remove the cable support bracket and the shift and select cables from the bracket, followed by removing the grommet retainer and pulling the cables from the vehicle. Installation is the reverse of removal.
