what bolts on the frame?

there arnt any

if you already unhooked the ends from the trans the only other thing is to unbolt the 3 bolts holding the cable holder to the trans

i did this and snapped the cable and i have to replace it as well so anu info well be good. i think youd have to take apart the shifter inside the car and unhook it from that as well i am probabley very wrong about this though.

yeah we saw it and then we started to lower it back down but it still snapped so now i have to go to the junkyard and get one i dont know how much it would cost new.

Removing the shifter cable in an auto trans

The easiest way to do this when pulling tranny/engine, just remove the shifter handle with a Phillips screwdriver on the passenger side of the shifter. Then remove the four screw holding the MIDDLE console down, there may be some hidden screws holding the middle console to the centre console so be careful here. Then, KEY ON, foot on brake, shift to a low gear, this exposes a LOCKING CLIP that connects the cable to the shifter. PRY off this tin mechanism and VOILA, the cable will disconnect. NOW, go under the car, drop the exhaust from the manifold and the two bolts that hold it the rear of the engine. Once this is done, use a DEEP ten millimetre socket and drop the FRONT two NUTS that hold the HEAT SHIELD. Just bend it down a bit, it will bend back and then use your 10 mm socket again to remove TWO bolts that hold the shifter cable RUBBER GROMMET in place/
AUTO cables go from tranny > shifter.
MANUAL cables go from shifter > tranny.
