Default D.I.Y Replacing Shifter Cables DC5 (Hybrid Racing for me)

**I will be updating this with installing Hybrid Racing Cables once they come in the mail. but I sold my stock cables so I need to ship them out right away**


This was very easy. You just need to take apart a bunch of parts lol

First thing is to undo the cotter pins holding the bushings in place. I actually already had them undone so I don't have a photo... but you should be able to figure that out lol

Next you'll want to take off the clips holding the cables in place

Then slide the cables backwards and out

Now we will head under the car and start undoing the brackets holding them in place. All the nuts are 10mm

here are the first two

Then you need to take off the 3 10mm nuts holding on the catalytic converter heat shield

Once that is removed you will see one more support bracket for the cables

remove those bolts and you'll be able to see and free the gasket/rubber plug going into the interior

NOW lets go inside.
*NOTE: My interior has ITR parts, Stock center piece is extremely similar**

Pull the cigarette lighter piece out. Just pry it with a flathead screw driver

Now unbolt the two bolts holding the center console you'll see them after you remove the cigarette socket.

Now take off your shift **** (just unscrew it)
