- Set the park brake.
- Block wheels.
- Verify floor console shift select lever is in the park position.
- Verify transmission select lever (transmission) is in the park position.
- Lift up on the shift cable adjuster clip.
- Depress the adjuster clip once. This mobilizes the adjuster housing toward the transaxle end fitting.
- Keeping one hand on the adjuster, slide the two halves of the cable together until all free play is removed.
- Depress the adjuster clip again, locking the adjuster clip completely.
- Pull conduit in opposite direction to verify proper connection.
- Check for proper operation.
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.
Important: Adjust the automatic transaxle range selector cable while the transaxle and the gear selector are in the Park position only. Failure to do so may cause mis-adjustment.
