Q: How do I remove and adjust the shift cable for Chevrolet Cobalt,HHR,Pontiac G5 and Saturn ION?
A: To remove the shift cable, first disconnect it at the transaxle and test the shifter to see if it moves smoothly without the cable. If adjustment is needed, follow these steps: raise the front of the vehicle and secure it on jackstands. Next, remove the nut securing the cable, lower the vehicle, remove the center console, and push aside the carpet. Pry the shift cable end from the shift lever pin using a flat-blade screwdriver, pry the U-shaped shift cable retaining clip away from the cable, and place a blanket over the driver's fender. Find the shift lever in the engine compartment and disconnect the cable end from it.
