to remove 204 cables its just the pins holding the ends on the gear selector arms inside the engine bay, the pins holding the other ends on the shifter assembly inside the cabin, and some bolts under the car right about your exhaust. there should be a head sheild that you can take off. pretty self explanitory once you get down there and start tracing when the cables go.
I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island
Pull the pins, remove the cables, from the tranny. It's been several years since I did this exact thing, but I remember having to get under the car to unbolt them from the floor.
