what route did you go when installing the shifter cables?

i know i have to run the cables through the bottom of the car above the cat-shield, but where in the engine bay did you route them? under the rack and pinion? through the brake lines? i'm having a hard time figuring this out. thanks!

 

For 99 TL you will have to remover block shape weight looking thing that in middle of the engine bay. It's held by 4 or 6 bolt that are 12mm if i remember right. After remover that piece it makes very easy to run cable shift wire to tranny. I can take some picture tomorrow after work b/c i don't have bright light lamp to show you what i'm talking about.

Lucky my TL wire are not in the way B/C I'm still not done finishing up 02 sensor problem.

 

are you talking about these?



do we have to remove both of them or just one?

 

Yeah that what I'm talking about. I remove both of them

 

what are they? are they just weights?

and question about that same pic (it's from jcharged's swap thread) see the vacuum lines next to those boxes? where do they connect now? i noticed on my auto, on the back of the tranny they plugged into that, but where to i plug them into now?

 

That vacuum line go to both motor mount. (front an rear) What we did is just disconnection it an just switch of plug for it to just run to front mount. Look for a 3 way line plug an replace just straight connect line or you can just get longer vacuum hose.

 

no i meant the one that looks like it hooks up to the steering stuff.

 

i can check for you tomorrow ( cannot remember what i did )

 

cool, cause i still have those lines there, but nothing to hook it up to on the transmission like i did on the auto.

 

they maybe for the variable assist steering.. which isnt present on the type s. not really sure, just a guess.

 

so technically i could plug those up and be fine?

 

Remove the blocks, they are for vibration if i were to guess. I havent seen a difference with them removed. As for the variable assist ps lines LOOP them together

 

great, thanks guys!! i'll do all that today.

 

 

^^
And get hose clamps on them They are 2 different size lines. Over time they can work their way off and leak causing issues

 

I'm thinking that too after i took the pictures

 

 

haha thanks guys, it's all worked out for me now on to the next bunch of things to fix
