be required for the 4L80E and 4L85E
transmissions without the PRNDL
switch. Verify that selector lever
does not grind on cable bracket be-
fore moving on to step 13.
STEP 13.Route the shifter cable ac-
cording to Figure 3. Avoid kinks and
sharp bends and route the cable away
from hot engine or exhaust parts.
Remove the two rubber boots, one
large nut, and a large lockwasher from
the threaded end of the shifter cable.
Slide the end of the cable into the cable
bracket. Install the large nut and lock-
washer loosely over the end of the cable.
Install the two rubber boots onto the end
of the cable. Install the swivel on the
threaded end of the cable and position it
in the center of the threaded portion.
STEP 14.Move the transmission selec-
tor lever by hand to full rear position
(Low). Place the shifter lever to the Low
gear position (all the way back). Adjust
the large nuts on the cable so that the
swivel will slide into the middle(front
for 4spd) hole on the selector lever.
Tighten the large nuts completely. Be
sure that the swivel will slide freely in
and out of the hole in the selector lever.
Note: The shifter will not operate
correctly unless the correct hole in
the shift lever is used.
Leave the swivel out of the hole and
move the selector lever to Park, all the
way forward. Also move the shifter to
the Park position (all the way forward).
Reinsert the swivel into the middle(front
for 4spd) hole in the selector lever.
Check to see that the swivel will slide
freely in and out of the middle(front for
4spd) hole in the selector lever in this
position. If it does not slip in freely,
adjust the swivel slightly until it will slip
into the hole in the lever.
Move the shifter back to the Low
gear position and check that the swivel
will still slide easily in and out of the
middle(front for 4spd) hole in the se-
lector lever. Operate the shifter through
all the gear positions. Check to make
sure the swivel will slide in and out of the
middle(front for 4spd) selector lever
hole in each gear position. The shift
cable is now correctly adjusted. Install
the cotter key supplied with the shifter
into the swivel and spread the key ends.
If you have a problem, DO NOT
FORCE THE SHIFTER, this will dam-
age the cable, the shifter or the trans-
mechanical interlock type, otherwise
you have a neutral safety switch type. If
you have a neutral safety switch, locate
the switch and identify the neutral safety
wires (engine will not crank unless these
wires are connected together). With ei-
ther type, disconnect the battery ground
cable to prevent accidental shorts. If you
have a neutral safety switch, disconnect
and extend both wires from the GM
switch to the switch on the shifter. If you
have a mechanical interlock cut the wire
that goes from the start position on the mission. Simply start at the beginning
and carefully check all your steps.
STEP 15. On GM vehicles, the neutral
safety switch may be located on the
shifter (steering column or console), or it
may be a mechanical interlock in the
steering column that prevents the key
from turning to the Start position unless
the shifter is in the Park or Neutral posi-
tion. Identify the type of neutral safety
system you have. If the key will not turn
to the Start position unless the stock
shifter is in Park or Neutral, you have a
