87 Shifter cable replacement
Guys my parking was not engaging because the accordeon of my shifter cable separate from the cable itself and it was kinda elongated,well i got a new cable and i need to install it.-
How much do i have to dissasemble the console ?
Do i have to dissasemble the whole shifter stick ?
Any step by step guide?
I need to remove the IP center since the flasher is behind that panel
and if im tearing everything off its a good opportunity to remove all those panels to access the flasher.-
Please let me know tips and shortcuts if any
thanks !

I just did this two days ago and this is what I did. First you need to remove the center upper plastic bezel so you can remove the console shift cover too. You will have to remove the A/C control unit and possibly the radio so that you can get some very tight access to the tunnel where the cable goes through. The cable is attached to the tunnel with 3-hex screws and some sticky sealer. I removed the neutral safety switch, removed the "C" clip from the shifter for the cable, struggled to pull the cable rod section back into the dash area, removed the 3-screws and then pulled the cable out. I would tie a long piece of strong string to the transmission side of the old cable so that you can pull the new one back through with it. A fair amount of patience and all went well.
