i removed lower shift cable and shift shaft like manual said. do i have to remove housing to install new one? cuz i fought with bellows to try to get new cable thru it and im losing.. i read that i should replace all bellows but mine arent worn or leaking so i didnt want to have to take them off unless it is necessary to. is there a secret or tip for getting cable thru bellow.

I just replaced all my bellows, I had the same issue. I just put some grease on the tips and that did it for me
