So I'm trying to remove the shift cables from my part-out car but I am perplexed as to how you remove them. I have the base of the shifter (yellow plastic piece under center console) unbolted, the cable mount that fastens to the tranny is unbolted and the bracket underneath the car near the steering rack has been unbolted as well.

The cables are free, I can move them around, but the hole where the cables feed into the interior is too small to let the bracket through and I can't figure out a way to remove the cables from the base of the shifter itself. At this point I'm ready to grab the dremel

Anyone have any thoughts or experience?

Did you pry off the clips that look like this? ^^^^

If not, just use a flathead, give it a twist, and they should break free.

Are these clips on the bracket end or the shifter end?

They hold the cables to the shifter base.

Okay, perfect, I know exactly where these are now. When I first saw them they looked welded, but apparently are removable. Problemo solved, thanks for the help guys.
