Steps to remove the shift cable of Cruze: First remove the two clips on the box, then remove the two clips connecting the shift cable and the shift cover. In terms of power, the Cruze is equipped with two engines, a 1.5L and a 1.4T, paired with a 6MT, a 6-speed manual-automatic transmission, and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Cruze's body dimensions are 4666mm in length, 1807mm in width, and 1460mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. The Cruze is a compact car under the Chevrolet brand, a new generation model developed by General Motors with the goal of creating a benchmark in design and performance for compact cars, integrating global resources.
I always believe safety comes first when dealing with car shift cable issues. Once when removing the shift cable on a Cruze, I parked the car on level ground, turned off the engine, engaged the parking brake, and used a jack with support stands to prevent accidental sliding. Then I crawled under the car to locate where the shift cable connects to the transmission. There was a metal clip there, and I loosened the bolt counterclockwise with a small wrench, being careful not to apply too much force to avoid damaging the cable. After removal, I checked the cable end for wear or rust to make subsequent part replacement easier. The whole process requires patience. If you lack tools or aren't familiar with the structure, it's best to take it directly to a repair shop and let a professional handle it—after all, driving safety is the top priority.
