Hyundai 46790-3L100 Automatic Transmission Lever Cable Assembly

To replace the shift cable, first disconnect it from the negative battery terminal. Disassemble the shifter assembly to access the end of the shift cable. For models from 2005 and earlier, remove the retaining pin from the end of the cable and detach the clip securing the cable housing to the shifter bracket. Feed the cable through the instrument panel area and the grommet in the firewall, then disconnect it from retainers and any interfering components. Disconnect the cable from the lever at the transaxle by removing the nut from the shift lever and the C-clip from the bracket, then remove the cable from the vehicle. Installation is the reverse of removal, ensuring to adjust the new cable afterward. For adjustment, set the Transmission Range sensor, place the shifter and transaxle in the Neutral position with the cable disconnected, and adjust the cable for connection to the transaxle lever when gently pushed. Verify proper operation in all ranges, ensuring the engine starts only in Park and Reverse. For interlock cables on models from 2010 and earlier, remove the console cover if not already done, loosen the screws securing the interlock cables to the shifter bracket, and shift the lever into the Park position while ensuring the key is in the Off position. Confirm the key lock cable cam and shift lock cable cam are correctly positioned, tighten the self-tapping screws for both cables, and after reinstalling any remaining components, apply the parking brake and test the vehicle in each gear position to ensure correct adjustment, confirming the vehicle cannot shift out of Park without the key in the On position and the brake pedal depressed, and that the key cannot turn to the Lock position unless the shifter is in Park.

First, engage the parking brake and move the shift lever to neutral position to start with the process followed by unscrewing and removing the shift lever knob. Next, remove the center console assembly, and then pinch the wires' ends of the shifter cables and take out the pins. Gently grasp the cable housing retaining clips and pull them out of the shifter base and position them aside then move to the transaxle end to get the shift cables and remove the retaining clips on them and drop one of the cables to differentiate it. Take off the fastenings of the transaxle ends of the shift cables and run them through the grommet wall for extraction. Some of the later models therefore may require removal of two screws that are found under the dash cowl that anchors the grommet to the firewall. When you are pulling the cables out in order to fit new ones, ensure that the end bushings are loose or damaged. Lastly, installation procedure occurs in an anti-clock wise manner that is the reversal of the removal process.
