PROCEDURE
ADJUST TRANSMISSION CONTROL SELECT CABLE
Tech Tips
After the shift lever or the shift cable is replaced, be sure to adjust the transmission control cable assembly.
If the shift lever does not move (or the shift lever is difficult to move) to 1st or 2nd or if it is possible to move the shift lever to reverse without pulling up the slider shaft, the length of the cable must be adjusted.
Disconnect the select control cable from the shift lever assembly.
Release the lock of the cable length adjustment structure of the select cable.
