Removal and Installation Of Shifter cable on auto 86 corvette

by Matt Hencinski
(Chicago)

what is the easy way to remove the shift cable on an 86 corvette. i have already removed the seat and pulled the center console. My question is do i need to remove the radio and dash to remove the cable because as it is now there is very little room to remove the cable ( cable snapped right at the shifter) I should also be ok to replace this without removing anything around the trans also right?
