How to Remove and Install a Shift Cable for the Selector Lever on Ford Escape?

Repair and service operations on the selector lever cable must start when the vehicle sits in neutral position on a hoist. The first step for accessing the upper selector lever trim ring is to set the selector lever to D position followed by prying it up gently. First remove the center console compartment tray while lifting the center console lid before taking off the top finish panel. The selector lever cable needs detachment by separating the cable end from the selector lever and moving the cable out from its bracket. Then remove the two grommet nuts which secure the selector lever cable while tightening them to 10 Nm (89 lb-in) during reinstallation. The selector lever cable retainer must be detached from the transmission fluid filler tube before disconnecting the cable end from the manual control lever. Detach the selector lever cable from the cable bracket by releasing its two tabs. End the installation by following the backward order of removal and adjusting the selector lever cable appropriately.

How to service and repair the gearshift cables for a manual transmission on Ford Escape?

The first step to service and repair gearshift cables in the manual transmission includes taking away the floor console. Detach the gearshift cables at the transmission while elevating the cables out of the cable bracket before removing them from the transaxle gearshift control assembly. Thoroughly detach both gearshift cables from the lever after unclamping their clips from the shift lever then separate the grommet nuts from their position so you can remove the cables. When installing the cables through the dash panel position the arrow on the grommet to face downward. Link the select cable with the gearshift cable through the two grommet nuts before tightening them to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.). Check that the cable adapter groove receives the entire length of clip before attaching the cable adapter. Attach the transaxle gearshift control assembly cables then do the cable adjustment before reinstalling the floor console.
