- Apply the parking brake.
- Place the transmission range selector control lever (column or floor shift) into the Neutral position.
- Raise and support the vehicle.
- Remove the positive assurance pin (2) from the bracket. See Fig 1.
- Release the cable lock tab (1). See Fig 2.
- Ensure the transmission range selector lever is in the Neutral position. Rotate the range select lever fully clockwise then counter clockwise 2 detents.
- Pull the cable end completely forward and release it. This allows the adjustment spring to position the cable to its most rearward position. Use care not to pull the cable past the ball stud. This will result in a misadjusted cable.
- If the adjustment body is not free to move under spring load, a proper adjustment can still be made. Push the adjustment body against the rearward stop. Pull the cable end just far enough forward to install it to the ball stud.
- Install the range selector cable end (2) to the range selector lever ball stud (1). See Fig 3.
- Depress the locking tab of cable (1) to set the adjustment. See Fig 2.
- Install the positive assurance pin (2) into the bracket. See Fig 1.
- Lower the vehicle.
- Check the vehicle for proper operation. The following conditions must be met:
- When moving the gearshift lever from Park to Low, all detent positions will be attainable.
- There will be an equal amount of free play between the gearshift lever and the gate in the drive and reverse detent. If there is no free play, the adjustment is not acceptable.
- With the key in the ON position and gearshift lever in Reverse, the key will not be removable, and the steering wheel will not be locked.
- With the key in the LOCKED position, and the gearshift lever in the Park position, the key will be removable, the steering wheel will be locked, and the gearshift lever will not disengage from Park.
