Ok i am using these twm intructions and i flew threw the entire thing until this point. I am stuck on step 14 which tells you to remove the cables. But it really doesnt show how. anyone else know how to get these off? I am right in the middle of doing this and can not figure it out. I know its winking me in the face but i cannot get the shifter cables loose.

Also the below picture kinda helps. Where i circled in red at the bottom of the shifter, it is sitting in the little grey and black housing at the end of the shift linkage. do I just PULL the linkage off the ball at the bottom? Help would be much appreciated

 

You kind of have to get under the clip with your finger nail or a small flat head screw driver. It will pop up and you can easily slide it off.

I can't see your pic, but if it is what I think, you leave it popped in and just pull it up and out when it is unclipped from the shifter cable.

 

do this!!!!

i got stuck there too...after u get the cables outu can pop off the entire shifter. If u undid the shifter assembly like the instructions said u can flip it sideways and pop the new shifter in.

 

so in this picture what your saying it to just pop off the top white/grey piece and the linkage just slides out? circled in red

yes? no?

 

I can't see the picture posted. It is blocked by my filter. I would say yes because that is what I think it is, but I can't confirm because I can't see what you have circled. Try hosting the picture here to the cobalt site. I can see those images

 

Yes,pop it up and pull out,but just remember that the white clip just pops up but doesn't come off completely.Once you pop it up just slide the cable out,hope this helps.

 

Just the one on the right as your looking @ the cables from the rear.

And as mentioned just take a small screw driver and pop the end loose, just make sure to mark its current position (helps out imho when putting it back on)

 

ok guys thanks for the help. I unclipped them and when i flipped the assembly over, one of these little springs popped out. is this how the springs go back in??? The top piece that looks like it covers the spring wont pop back on now. Thanks guys again for the help. Just making sure i am doing this right.

 

dang u werent supposed to ENTIRELY unclip them..if u just pop the end tab out they slid out the cables

 

u can do it many ways, i can do a STS install in 45 mins w/out removing anything form the car excet the shifter

 

ok so is that how the springs go in there??? any ideas? I figured after i seen a spring pop out that maybe i went to far...lol

like i said there is a little square cover over where i think that spring goes, but it wont fit back on

bump

anyone?

Help!

Ttt..

 

u went to far taking those little boxes out, u remove the upper covers, unclip them turn the base around pop the ball at the bottom of tshifter out, remove clip around big ball, pull shifter out, reverse, takes 45mins max

 

well, one box just fell out when i turned it on its side. then the spring came out somehow.

it came out cuz i unclipped it from the back and not the front

 

well on mine sts i broke one of them. the way i figured it out is relly look at. like grab the clip try to twist it so u can see how it works and fits. but the clip where you pop off is the closest one to ur dash...trust me ur fingers are going to kill mine did. but the clip has a lil gap in front at the very bottom and it just un clips. its harder to put it back together.......well good luck

 

The Springs go in vertically underneath the cables, not around them.
