Civic shift cable location

External Since: Mar 05, 2006 Posts: 34

1996 Civic, 216K km Automatic transmission.

My transmission shift lever is tough to move in the morning from
Parking to Rear and sometime from Rear to Drive. My mechanic says its a
10 year old car and so the problem is with the shift cable. When the
mechanic lubes that It got smooth all-ways.

I was wondering where is the shift cable located and whether I can do
the lube myself if needed without lifting the car.

Thanks in advance for your support.

You need to lube from underneath, sorry. The pivot points get rusty.
