cable to the shifter, loosen, but do not
remove, the adjusting nut at the front
end of the shifter cable where it con-
nects to the transmission shift lever
(See Figure #1). Move the transmis-
sion shift lever as far back as it will go,
and then move it forward three clicks.
This is the Neutral position. Move the
shifter to the Neutral position. (See the
Operation section at the end of these
instructions). Connect the cable to the
REAR side of the cable bracket on the
shifter using the two self tapping 1/4”
X 5/8” screws provided with the kit. On
‘99-’00 models you will need to use the
adapter and spacer kit as shown in
Photo #4. Snap the cable end over the
ball on the shifter output lever. On ‘99-
’00 models replace the ball with the
cable pin and snap the cable in place.
Tighten the adjusting nut on the shifter
cable.
STEP 5. Check that the shifter is in
the Neutral position. The transmission
should also be in the Neutral position.
With both the shifter and the transmis-
sion in the Neutral position, loosen the
adjusting nut on the transmission shift
lever at the front end of the shifter cable.
Pull forward lightly on the cable to take
up the free play in the cable and then
tighten the nut while still maintaining
tension on the cable. Check that the
shifter will move to all the gear posi-
tions without having to use excessive
force. (See the Operation section at
the end of these instructions). Particu-
larly check that the transmission lever
moves to the Reverse position when
the shifter is moved from Park to Re-
verse. If it does not, recheck the cable
