how do you change the interior door handle on a 94 oldsmobile cutlass ciera?

Question

i have the door apart somewhat. there is a rod that runs from the interior door handle to the exterior one. i cant see how it hooks up inside the door to the exterior one. any help would be appreciated. any resources will work.

Answer 1

Should be a plastic or spring steel metal clip holding the rod onto the handle---the rod should then go from the inside handle to the door latch mechanism---not to the outside handle. The outside door handle should have it's own rod going to the latch as well as one from the outside lock to the latch and the inside lock button to the latch---4 rods in all or possibly 3 if the outside lock has an arm going to the latch.
