The jacket is above the heat shield, mufflers, driveshaft, fuel tank shroud. I could just get a dremel up there and cut off the retaining clip. Removing the cable required removing the rear seat and center console. I ended up peeling back the carpet near the top of the center tunnel attaching a vise grip to the jacket and with a pry bar against the seat riser moving it ~1 inch. Had to do this 5 or 6 times until it was free enough that I could pull the jacket out from inside the car. Tried snaking the new one in and got no where. Pushed a wire pull through from the inside and it got hung up under the car somewhere. Took quite a while to get the wire pull out. After much back and forth it did free up and I tried again. This time I was able to get it through the bracket and pull the new cable through. I still can not get it through far enough to attach or to see the outer jacket under the car. The outer jacket is hitting something unseen and will not go far enough through the hole in the floor to get to the bracket. It seems to be hung up somewhere above the fuel tank shroud. I'm done for the evening. Will try some more tomorrow after work, unless we get snow. This is every bit a pain as I imagined. Would have been simpler to run a new inner cable through the outer jacket from under the car and silver solder a new end on in the car (of course I would need to know the length and acquire the proper ends.
