I checked mine and the shift cable was under the wire support and unattached. Close to the exhaust. Is yours like that as well?

I think it makes more sense for the cable to be installed above the bracket, so the support would pull it away from exhaust. I could not move it enough and just zip tied it below the wire support. The access from above the engine was very tight.

Does it look like it's correct now?

Under is correct. The wire support is there to keep the cable from rattling against the underside of the floor. The TSB has you tie it to wire support as is reverse there is enough slack in the cable for it to vibrate against the support and make the rattling sound.

Thanks! There is still some knocking/rattling sound in reverse especially on cold engine. Maybe from somewhere else?

Anyone have a picture of what this looks like from above? I'd rather try to it without jacking the car up.

Also, if i do have to jack the car up, because its too low to crawl under it, where are safe points to use jack stands?
