How to replace auto transmission cable - 2002 Mazda 626

It could be the governor inside the transmission, the shift solenoid, the transmission control module or the vacuum modulator.

if manual transmission and hydraulic clutch --replace the clutch master cylinder
or cable clutch ---replace the cable
or--- replace the clutch ( 1st two options before the clutch as they are cheaper)
if automatic ---change the oil and have the bands and clutch pack adjusted ( use an accredited auto transmission speciliast shop who has experience on your vehicle)

Is this an automatic? or standard transmission? If standard, you may be talking about the clutch cable? Usually, the transmissions are controlled by Linkage between the transmission and the shift lever. Better detail if you are DIY is a repair manual. you will want one next time. Your library may have one, you auto parts store, or try filepeep.com if they have it, or try manualslib.com

I had a 2004 Tundra that did something similar. The shifter lever is connected to the Transmission through a cable. The cable had corroded and came disconnected at Transmission. The cable needed to be replaced.

follow speedo cable to the transmission ,it should screw on at that point. next take out 1 bolt for y shaped hold down fork and check for a stripped speedometer gear , its plastic pull it straight up and out if teeth are missing check the gear in transmission connected to that one. also since its apart try turning the cable while someone watches it, if it turns smoothly then its ok just replace transmission gear.and reinstall cable. if it makes the speedo jump or turns roughly replace cable as well.your local auto parts stores should have these, if not I know the dealers will.

I AM A AUTO REPAIR MECHANIC NEVER SEEN THAT HAPPEND TO MY EXPERIENCE NO I DONT THINK THAT WOULD COUSE IT BE HARD TO SHIFT IN TO GEAR DONT SEE A REASON FOR THEM TO MESS WITH SHIFT CABLE TO FIX REAR END NOW BEST THING TO DO TAKE TO DIFFRENT SHOP AND GET A SECOND OPINION SEE IF WHAT SHOP IS TELLING YOU IS TRUE THAT CABLE IS BAD LET ME KNOW IF NEED MORE HELP THAT WHY IM HEER FOR VIC

Replace the cable with one from your local auto parts store or dealer.
It may be for cruise control if your cruise control no longer works.
Or, it may be for the accelerator pedal.

well this ones easy.. Replace the park neutral switch on the transmission.. yours is bad.. look on the transmission for a part with some power cables plugged in.. remove cables, (abt 4 / 6 or so) wires
uunjack, unbolt, replace..

3 speed auto or 4 speed auto? Does the speedometer work?

Yo tengo el mismo problema y me han dicho que sí es necesario cambiar el cable, mi problema es, donde comprar ese tipo de cable?
