hey there im trying to put a new shifter in my car and i am trying to get the old one out and im stuck. i cant figure out how to get the cables off of the shifter at the front of the shifter where there is a little hole for them to go through and i was searching for a thread on it and all i found was doing short throws and that didnt require take out the whole shift assembly so some help please and sorry if im posting a question that has been answered already i just cant find it hah thanks

damn... just yesterday I did that on my car and didn't made any pic . it's easy to do but you need to remove half of dash (that's pain in... etc) and to have proper tool in your hand (extension for wrench because there is not much space around). If you have any picture of shifter I can draw what you need to do...

what are you guys talking about??? there are two U shaped clips... you pull them out from the top and then the cable slides to release it from the binding... you pull directly up on the U shaped bracket

sales and service..

EDIT: PICS

you have described just how to remove lines from chassis... (that white plastic). I talked also about complete replacing the shifter chassis.

i was able to work my stock shifter assy out and the TRD one in without removing the lower dash.
just takes a bunch of cursing, and a lot of wiggling and finessing. lol

like he said

From what I remember, it does make it easier to remove the center compartment, then loosen the screws that hold in the center console where the assembly is at and move it in a certain position to get more room. You will need to just remove the screws that hold the center.
