(Thread Starter) | ![]() ![]() ![]() First off disconnect your battery IMG_4145.JPG then remove your battery and intake IMG_4146.JPG pop off the cables IMG_4149.JPG this is right by the turbo IMG_4150.JPG then you go inside and start removing the center console and radio 20131217_194813.jpg 20131217_194817.jpg if you need help in this part i can get pics on that too after that just pop off the cables same way you did before Next pull the carpet back so you got room to work with and unplug the box and there are three bolts holding it down one on the drivers side and two on passenger 20131217_185946.jpg you also gotta shift the plugs and the vents going to the rear so you can maneuver the plate out 20131217_170309.jpg if you want you can cut a patch out off the plate or attempt to move it aside your choice 20131217_192224.jpg 20131217_192235.jpg I couldn't get the pics of where the bolts are but if you get a descent sized 10mm wrench you could loosen the nuts and back them by hand barely and torque on them at this part you should probably have a friend help you here pushing the cables through find the way you do best and not crack the hvac case and have a huge hole lol (my mistake) IMG_4152.JPG after you get it out get yourself a beer the hard part is over and the easy part begins IMG_4153.JPG then just do everything in reverse order and done!

| ![]() ![]() ![]() Are those stock shifter cables? I have a TWM full replacement and I'm wondering if I should pick up some shorter cables because right now it forces the stock cables down to the floor, so they're curved. I've heard about people having kinked cables because of this.

| ![]() ![]() ![]() I know I'm late on this one, but that's awesome that you did that without (like mentioned above) gutting the entire dash. How much did you get the new shifter cables for and where? If you don't mind. I've been needing some and I think I found the right part, but it's about $260. Just wanted to double check @ciezczak1;

| ![]() ![]() ![]() This is exactly how I changed mine about a year ago. I kept reading that you had to take the entire dash apart and I was determined that I wasn't going to do that. And I didn't.

| ![]() ![]() ![]() I actually rigged mine with zip ties and drove like that for about 3 months...lol. My cable wasn't snapped I just broke the plastic sleeve under the rubber boot by the end of the cable because I installed the JBR SSP and didn't put in the spacers that go under the bracket...lol.

| ![]() ![]() ![]() Just did the shift cables over the weekend. A few notes that people doing this in the future might find handy:
Thanks to @ciezczak1; for answering the questions I had, including a particularly stupid one about a clip. Big thanks to @Ryguy; for coming by to help despite his desire to burn my car to the ground.

| ![]() ![]() ![]() Very good write up, indeed I did end up using your method. With a machine shop and 30 hands at your disposal, it really is quite easy. Only thing missing was pictures of the actual area you're working, the nuts and what not, which I have below. Start to finish, first pic is the actual plate on the cables held down by the 2 10 mm nuts, next a close up of the plate, next the nuts themselves, next sliding them out, next the opening left when they're out and finally using the pry bar to get the new ones in. Couple necessary tools, 10 mm racketing wrench, powerful magnet (for when you drop the nuts trying to put them back on lol), a pry bar to create space and a shit load of patience. Also, be careful with the airbag module (3 yellow plugs and gray box), and I opted to remove the metal clip on the rubber "holster" for the cables, it's easier sliding them in 1 at a time vs both thru the tiny ass opening. Working diligently, this can be accomplished in a little over 1 hr 30 mins, no dash removal necessary, only the center console. @ciezczak1; Thank you again for the blueprint!

| ![]() ![]() ![]() And Done!! Well that was not a fun job at all. Getting the cables out wasn't too bad. It was getting the plate back over the studs. then trying to get the nuts back on the studs that was the bitch. With the sharp plastic pieces hanging down i cut both hands all to shit. My only advice for this job would be when trying to get the nuts back on, use an extension magnet, have one person hold the nut over the stud with the magnet and the other screw the nut back on. another bit of advice, don't ever break one of the white pieces that go inside the ends of the cables that go over the ball. we spent another hour breaking out one off the old cables and shaving it down to fit in the new cables. The mechanism is pressed together and glued so there is no taking it apart easily. this how to definitely saved us a lot of time though not having to tear the dash apart.

| ![]() ![]() ![]() Doing this now.... have the center console and head unit off. Have the cables disconnected from the transmission and from the shifter as well as the rubber grommet by the turbo and I'm stuck on the stupid bracket. Can't even see it. Do you need to just put a wrench up there and hope it gets on the nut? Lol.

| ![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks for the insight of this thread guys! Got it all buttoned up last night and I couldn't be happier. ALL of my previous issues that I assumed was the shifter cage, was actually the shifter cable. So now it's crisp and notchy. didn't take the dash out, just cut back a lot of the insulation as suggested and got the stupid bracket on the studs. (took forever) but now at least I have really good shifts. Coupled with my twm STS and jbr ssp, it's amazing. Thanks Again! ![]()

| ![]() ![]() ![]() i've had to this twice and i got it done rather quick with some help but i wanted to know if a lot of people are having problems with theirs. I blame the JBR SSP i had because i owned the car for over two years before i even put that thing on and never had issues. Still love JBR though. |

| ![]() ![]() ![]() Mine broke because I DIDN'T install the two spacers that raise the brace with the JBR SSP. I swapped out my cable without taking the dash out and installed the spacers and haven't had a problem yet.

| ![]() ![]() ![]() Just ordered the cable today, hope it gets here quick. Cost was $325.00/w shipping. Local dealers wanted $374.00 plus tax. Hope replacing it isn't to difficult |

| ![]() ![]() ![]() I have ordered my cables today. So are you pushing the cables from inside the car through the hole or pushing the cables from the engine inside the cabin? |

| ![]() ![]() ![]() when removing the cables they come into the cabin. when installing, start in the cabin and push through. I highly recommend having at least a second set of hands under the hood to help guide the cables
