Shift Linkage Check
Check for a misadjustment in the selector lever cable by matching the detents in the transmission selector lever with those of the manual lever in the transmission. If they match, the misadjustment is in the indicator. Do not adjust the selector lever cable.
Hydraulic leakage at the manual control valve can cause delay in engagements and/or slipping while operating if the selector lever cable is not correctly adjusted. Refer to AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION EXTERNAL CONTROLS article for Selector Lever Cable Adjustment.
