Shift Cable
WARNING:
Adjust shift cable so engine will start with transmission in Park or Neutral only. Misadjusted shift linkage could cause clutch and/or band failure in transmission.
NOTE:
Most FWD vehicles are equipped with a self-adjusting shift cable.
- Place gearshift lever in Park. Raise and support vehicle. Disconnect cable assembly at transaxle shift lever. Ensure transaxle shift lever is turned fully clockwise (Park).
- Using a small screwdriver, pry up cable adjuster lock tab. See Fig 1. Reconnect cable assembly to transaxle shift lever. Ensure cable housing moves freely inside adjuster housing. Move cable housing back and forth and note amount of end play.
- Adjust cable by moving cable housing 1/2 the amount of total end play. Press lock tab down and ensure cable housing is secure. Check park lock cable adjustment. See PARK LOCK CABLE .
