Shift Control Cable
- Start engine, and move shift lever into Reverse. Verify
transaxle engages in Reverse. With engine off, remove center console.
Move shift lever into Neutral or Reverse. Remove lock pin from
adjuster. Ensure adjuster and shift cable holes align perfectly. See Fig 1.
- Holes in end of adjuster are positioned to allow cable
adjustments in 1/4 turn increments. Adjust shift cable if it is not
perfectly aligned. Loosen lock nut, and adjust cable as necessary.
Tighten lock nut. Install lock pin into adjuster. See Fig 1.
- Lock pin should not bind during installation. Start engine, and
check shift lever in all gears. Vehicle should start only with shift
lever in Park or Neutral. Adjust neutral safety switch (if necessary).
