Hello! I have a Volvo S60 2001. I need to remove those two transmission / gear shifter cables - because they are in the way since I’m pulling the steering rack out. Any idea how to de attach these?

Thanks a lot for any insight!!

The wire clips fit into a groove on the shaft keeping the cable end fixed.
Undo those wire clips by gently prying out then up on each looped end, one side then the other.
The clip will hinge up and should stay in place, now you can pull the cable off the shaft.
Repeat for each cable.

The outer cable slides into a U bracket on the trans. You should be able to pry them up but not certain on your model. If nothing else you can take the bolts out that hold the bracket to the trans leaving the cable attached.

The yellow square is the adjustment lock, don't mess with that or you'll be back asking how to adjust them next ;)
