Default A6 Shifter Cable Replacement w/Trans Out

I was told by a GM mechanic that my automatic shifter cable can be switched out without taking the console apart......anyone have any experience? This is done while the trans is out. Thanks

Said you can reach up from the bottom end & pop the clip on the upper cable, then replace with new cable.

You can, but it's REALLY tight up in there.
