Started to remove the old broken shifter cable in preparation for replacement. However, I cannot either pull down through or pull up through a sleeve in the pedestal next to the steering wheel hub that, I assume, keeps the cable from touching the steering wheel shaft. I've annotated the attached picture. This assembly is below the rocker arm where the cable attaches to the shifter lever. Has anyone replaced their cable and give me advise on how the cable can be run through this sleeve?
