WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Adjust the shift cable while the transaxle and while the gear selector are in the Neutral position only. Failure to do so may cause misadjustment of shift cable.
- Set the parking brake. Block the wheels. Remove the shift cable terminal from the transaxle manual shaft lever pin.
- Use an appropriate tool to pry on the shift cable terminal at the manual control lever pin to remove the shift cable terminal from the manual control lever pin. See Fig 1 . Prying or pulling up on any other part of the shift cable may result in damage to the shift cable.
- Fully lift the adjuster lock button. Ensure the adjuster is free to move. Place the transaxle manual shaft lever in (N) Neutral. In order to find (N) Neutral, rotate the lever fully counterclockwise to (P) Park, and then clockwise 2 clicks into (N) Neutral.
- Place the gear shifter inside the car to the (N) Neutral position. If adjusting a column shift vehicle, rotate the shift lever to the LOW 1 position, fully down. Push forward and upward slowly past the first click, which is overdrive, until it stops solidly at the 2nd click. It is in (N) Neutral.
- Underhood, grasp the shift cable terminal and pull it toward the pin on the manual shaft lever. The shift cable adjuster spring should compress as the terminal is moved toward the pin.
- Attach the pin to the lever by pushing down carefully until it snaps. Do not pull the terminal beyond the pin and then push back. This action could move the shifter out of (N) Neutral.
- Press the adjuster lock button down flush with the adjuster body. See Fig 2 . Shift to (P) Park and release the parking brake while applying the service brake. Start the engine and assure all of the indicated gear positions match the vehicle response.
