2. Unscrew the 2 console mounting screws, set the gearshift lever to position "P" and remove the console.
3. Moving to the gearbox, disconnect the cable by removing the fastening clamp "A" and unscrewing the cable from the support "B" (see figure 6.47).
4. Once inside the vehicle, disconnect the cable from the gear shift lever.
5. Pull the cable out of clamp "A" and then loosen and remove coupling "B" (see figure 6.48).
6. Pull the cable into the engine compartment and remove it.
7. Install the new cable in the reverse order. Please note the following points. Check that the rubber bushing through which the cable passes is firmly in place on the engine compartment bulkhead. Install the cable into the coupling so that it is not under tension. When connecting the cable, the gear shift lever must be in the "P" position.
8. With someone's help, check that when the gearshift lever is in each position, the lever on the gearbox fits correctly into the corresponding lock (it feels like) and was not under voltage. If necessary, adjust the cable at point "A" next to the gear shift lever (see figure 6.48).
