Automatic Transmission Range Selector Cable Adjustment
- Set the parking brake.
- Block the wheels.
- Disconnect the shift cables at both ends with the system in Neutral.
- Push up to the adjustment position to release the adjuster until the cable housings separate.
- Depress the adjuster clip once. This mobilizes the adjuster housing toward the transaxle end fitting.
- Line up the end fittings so they slide together until you feel the parts cam together and lock.
- Depress the adjuster clip completely. This locks the cable into its adjusted service position.
- Pull the conduit in the opposite direction to assure full system adjustment of the shift cable.
- Ensure the conduit is fully engaged.
- The horseshoe clip with the tab is not flush when not fully engaged.
- Install the shift cable retainer and the wiring harness clip or wiring harness strap.
CAUTION:
The automatic transaxle range selector cable is made out of two cable sections. After initial connection never separate the two metal couplings from one another. Integrity of the connection of the two metal couplings will be lost if separation of the two metal couplings occurs. When servicing the transaxle remove the cable at the automatic transaxle range selector lever and at the automatic transaxle range selector cable bracket. If either section of the cable needs to be replaced, replace both of the cable sections. Loss of connection integrity of the two metal couplings can cause loss of transaxle shift control which could result in personal injury.
NOTE:
Adjust the automatic transaxle range selector cable while the transaxle and while the gear selector are in the Neutral position only. Failure to do so may cause mis-adjustment.
NOTE:
Do NOT attempt to separate the metal couplings. Replace both cable pieces if the metal couplings are separated. Both of the cable section will be damaged if the two metal couplings are disconnected.
IMPORTANT:
The horseshoe clip with the tab is flush when fully engaged.
