2007 Cadillac Escalade ESV Automatic Transmission Shifter Cable

You need to install the retainer that secures the cable to the bracket, the range selector cable end to the transmission range selector lever ball stud, the cable clip on the transfer case, the clips on the cable to the floor panel reinforcement, the cable grommet to the floor panel, the range selector cable to the support, the cable to the steering column bracket, the cable end to the steering column ball stud, the retainer securing the cable to the steering column, the driver seat and the instrument panel knee bolster.

You need to place the steering column shift lever back into the park (P) position, ensure that the transmission manual shaft lever is in the park (P) position, and pull the white cover back to expose the natural-colored lock. Under the lock, insert a flat-bladed screwdriver under the lock ramp located at the top of the lock. The lock will pop up, and the transmission end will move slightly away from the shifter end. Next, you can push the end of the transmission end inside the shifter end until the blue spring on the transmission end is fully compressed, this will engage the inner wire and lock both wires together, release the transmission end and allow the spring to tension/adjust the cable system and pull the white cover on the shifter end back. Then you can push the natural colored lock button down to engage the locking teeth on the transmission end, release the white cover and verify the white cover conceals the natural colored lock.

You need to avoid unnecessary twisting/bending of the range selector cable when removing the cable from the support.

You need to install the transmission range selector cable bracket and the transmission range selector cable bracket bolts, align and install the cable to the bracket, install the retainer that secures the cable to the bracket, and check the vehicle for proper operation.

You need to apply the parking brake, shift the transmission into neutral, remove the retainer that secures the cable to the bracket, depress the tangs and remove the cable from the bracket, and remove the bolts securing the transmission range selector cable bracket to the transmission and the transmission range selector cable bracket.
