It usually is that simple, but be warned that there is a flexible Bowden 
housing where the cable passes by the tranny. That housing may fall out when 
you remove the old cable.

The front end of that housing has a sleeve that fits over the hard tube that 
exits the pan, while the rear end of that housing fits in a socket in the front 
engine tin. It's important that both ends be slipped in there correctly.
