RE: Sticking trans pushbuttons

[Paul Lennemann <pjlenn@xxxxxxxxx>]

In regards to removing the cables from the unit the FSM simply says to 
"disconect the the push button gearshift and parking lock cables from 
the control unit".  They are a little more informative on the 
re-installation instructions, "Secure the cable housings by clamping 
them in the control brackets".  As I recall you have to pry open the "C" 
shaped clamp to free one of the the cables.  The other can be unbolted 
from the unit as it is attached to a separate bracket.
