Pic. 251. Removing the middle lining of the instrument panel: 1 - middle lining of the instrument panel
- unscrew the fastening bolts and remove the middle facing 1 (pic. 251) instrument panels;
Pic. 252. Removing the gain rack (the locations of the bolts of the reinforcement rack are shown by arrows)
- unscrew the fastening bolts (pic. 252, shown by arrows) and remove the gain rack located under the instrument panel;
Pic. 253. Removing the lever handle and parking brake boot: 1 - handle; 2 - cover; 3 - casing. The location of the two stoppers is shown by the arrow
- raise the parking brake lever and pull out the two stoppers with a screwdriver (pic. 253). Remove the handle 1 of the parking brake lever in the forward direction and pull off the cover 2 from the lever;
- disconnect the cable attachment flange from the bottom;
- remove the air grille of the heater outlet and the rear heating channel;
Pic. 254. Disconnecting the cables from the gear levers. Follow the directions shown by arrows 1 and 2
- Disconnect both shift cables from the shift levers. To do this, press the locking mechanisms all the way back (pic. 254 arrow 1) and turn towards (arrow 2) to unlock them;
Pic. 255. Extraction of cables from the case of gear levers. Squeeze both tongues shown by the arrows to remove the cables
- squeeze both tongues (pic. 255) and remove both cables from the shift lever housing. Now both shift cables can be pulled out into the passenger compartment.
Install the shift cables in the reverse order of removal, taking into account the following points:
- insert cables individually (in turn) into the openings of the bottom of the body;
- both shift cables go under the bottom of the car to the gearbox;
Pic. 256. Installing cables 1 and 2 shifting. Cable 1 gear selection must cross with cable 2 gears
- rope 1 (pic. 256) the gear selector must intersect with the gear shift cable 2. After that, push both cables all the way into the gearbox clamps;
- put on the end of the rope 1 (pic. 239) on the gear selection lever, and cable 2 on the gear lever;
