So i am doing an engine swap on an automatic 95 honda civic, i entirely forgot about the shifter linkage that goes from the tranny into the shifter console inside the car. So nevertheless I tore it and had to chop it at the base where it enters the transmission. I wont be using this engine or tranny again but I noticed that all engines from engine depots come with that cable chopped. How to I connect the cable (new cable) into the new tranny? Do I have to replace the cable all the way from the console out? How is it connected into the tranny? I have attached a pic and you can see the cable I am referring to right next to the axle, its chopped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

see if this link helps.
Ugh! I bet metalslug wishes he had seen this before cutting the cable on the trashed engine / transmission. Time for a new cable from the shifter to the transmission.
The only saving grace here is that there were lots of 95 Civics on the road so there should be plenty available for parts. See if car-parts or a local u-pull type place has what you need. You might check an online dealer parts place too. Sometimes they’ll surprise you with a very reasonably priced OEM replacement part – which would be ideal. Back when I owned a CR-V Majestic Honda was a site that I used and would recommend for OEM parts.
Thanks for the replies, its not entirely clear (at least to me) how to remove the part that goes into the tranny but I think I get it and will try and remove it on my junk tranny tomorrow. I’ll report back.
Scroll down to the bottom of the link that college man provided.I’m trusting that the diagram there matches what you have in front of you with your junk (and new used) transmission. There is a cover over the end of the shift link cable that needs to be removed first. 2 bolts hold the cover on the transmission. One is near the cable end that has been cut in your photo. In the link to the civic forum the photo shows that 1st bolt already removed. The other cover bolt is nearly in line a few inches towards the front of the car / transmission. From the diagram that 2nd bolt may be a bit hidden near some kind of transmission mount or bracket. Once both bolts are removed you pop off the cover. You should then be able to see he final bolt and locking washer attaching the cable to the lever.
