Help! Trans Cable 1990-1996

[jsup]

Got the car running GREAT. I decided to try out a HOLLEY EFI system. EXCELLENT SYSTEM. I absolutely love the product. Works great. Easy to set up and tune, and does autotune on top.

So now that I have that installed, everything working as it should....

The trans shift cable breaks. I have the entire center of dash apart but can't figure out where the hell the 3 screws are to get the cable out. The radio, climate control, and DIC are OUt. The plastic housing that holds them is riveted in, I can't see having to take the top of the dash off and drill out rivets.

Anyone ever do this? HELP! I read it's supposed to be an "easy job", and I'm sure it is, AFTER you get to those damn screws. It's a 700R4

OH geeze, I guess the car was built around it. The instructions above say take out the seats, etc...

Sure, it's a piece of cake, once you disassemble 1/2 the car.

It's kinda like I tell my wife about shortcuts..... It's much faster once I get there....

There's a local corvette shop that will do it for $200. I'm considering throwing in the towel for this one.

I assembled and disassembled this entire car, at least twice, drivetrain anyway.....

I think it's time to write a check and just have it over with.

Hey VetteOz...shoot me an email.. jsupino@yahoo.com I may be down in AU in the next few months let me know where you are.

Because I don't have a lot of free time, I have to work on it when I have time.

I finally got that SOB out. Not as hard as I had feared. If I had to do it again, it would take 1/2 the time. Probably a 2 hour job now that I know how to do it.

It's not easy, simply because working in tight corners is tough, but it's pretty easy once you get there....

Thanks for the information guys. VetteOz, that picture really helped me locate it since it was slathered 1/4 inch thick with some sticky shit, and I couldn't even see that far, since it covered the screws.
