removing shifter cable from automatic transmission on a 1988 Honda Prelude Si
 

I just bought this '88 Honda prelude Si 4ws and it needs a
transmission. I've removed everything but the shifter cable. All i
need to know is how i do i separate the cable from the tranny. It's an
automatic. Do i need to disconnect it from the shifter first, drop the
tranny, then take the cable out or what. I'm stumped and i could use
some advice a.s.a.p. Thanks everyone.
