Honda Repair: Honda Accord AT Cable, cable replacement, honda accord

Question
I have 1992 Accord SW EX with 130K miles here in Seattle.  Recently the shifter has gotten harder and harder to pull out of, or push into Park.  I took the console off and greased the obvious pieces with little effect. So I went to my dealer and had them diagnose it.  They said the cable was frayed and needed replaced.  $570 including $350 for the part.  I used their wireless internet to check the part prices and found them online between $95 and $130 shipped. My question how difficult is it to change the cable?  Specifically, how do you unattach and re-attach it to the transmission end?  Thanks!

Answer
Steve, 350 is pretty steep even for a genuine part, I'd check THAT out. As far as the cable replacement, its not bad...but the car should be on a hoist for ease of installation. There is a centre beam that has to be removed(5-14mm bolts)The exhaust has to be lowered to access the cable mounting bolts in the floor. The cable connects to the transmission under a cover(3-12mm bolts) on the rear of the transmission where the trans meets the engine. The cable is connected via a 10mm bolt which connects the control lever to the control shaft. If you get all that you got it made. Good luck RICK
