ididit Cable Shift Linkage Kit: Column to GM Transmission - Manual (Page 5)

11. Install the transmission shift lever so that the squared end is closest to
the front of the vehicle. Add the washer and the nut to hold it in place.
12. Take the small nut, two
rubber boots, and one
large nut and washer off
the transmission end of
the cable. Insert the cable
into the bracket. Reinstall
the large washer, nut and
two boots. Rotate the shift
lever clockwise to the park
position. Now you are going to put the swivel onto the threaded end
of the cable and turn it until it lines up with the middle hole of the shift
lever. Install the cotter pin. If it needs more travel, loosen the large
nuts and washers and move the cable forward or backward to gain
more travel. Then retighten the large nuts and washers. Install the
small nut and tighten.
13. Try to shift the column. You may experience a
tight pattern, if so slightly loose the bracket around
the column. This should allow the column to move
easier. If not check that the cable is in alignment from
the bracket to the lever.

Cable Adjustment:
If you do not adjust the cable correctly you could
damage the cable, shifter and/or transmission. Put the trans in Low gear
and the shifter in Low gear, set the swivel so it slides in and out of the
correct hole freely. Then move the transmission and shifter to Park (all the
way the other way). Rotate the cable swivel until it slips in and out of the
hole freely. Now go back and forth between Park and Low gear and fine
tune the adjustment. See instructions for further detail.
