Step 16: Check the adjustment of the shifter by placing the shifter lever all the

way forward into the Park position. Make sure that the release button

still moves up and down freely. The release button should be flush with

the knob in Park and Neutral. In the Reverse position, you cannot pull

the lever back into Neutral without depressing the release button.

While the shifter is in the Park position, make sure the transmission

is firmly in the Park detent, with no tension on the cable. You

can verify that there is no tension on the cable by removing the

1/4"-28 x 1" bolt with nylock nut that attaches the rod end to the

quad lever or trans arm at either end of the cable. Make sure the

hole in the rod end exactly aligns with the hole in the quad lever

or trans arm. The bolt should pass freely through both holes at the

same time without binding. Do not force the holes to line up.

If the holes are not aligned, use the 5/8"-18 jam nuts at the lower

cable mounting bracket to get the adjustment close. Then you can

fine-tune it by adjusting the rod ends until you can slide the bolt in

and out without putting tension on the cable. Make sure that the quad

lever and trans arm do not move during the adjustment procedure.

Use this adjustment routine until the bolts will pass freely in and out

of both of the rod ends and the quad lever and trans arm. Reinstall the

1/4"-28 nylock nuts and the flat washers onto the bolts and tighten.

Once you have the shifter adjusted correctly, tighten the 1/4"-28 jam

nuts on the ends of the cable, and the 5/8"-18 jam nuts at the lower

cable mounting bracket.
