While replacing a tranny I broke the end of my shifter cable at the bracket on top of the transmission. I've ordered a cable from a salvage yard, but the Haynes manual I have mentions an adjustment procedure. The same manual also says not to separate the two halves of the cable.

Haynes aside, if there's a way to only replace the half of the cable from the firewall to the tranny, and avoid removing the console etc. inside the car, I'm all for it.

I tried to find a thread on adjusting the cable, without success. So, two questions:

1) Procedure for adjusting the cable?
2) Can I only replace the lower half of the cable?

thanks in advance.
