ADJUSTMENTS - GEARSHIFT CABLE THIS MUST BE DONE!!
Check adjustment by starting the engine in PARK and NEUTRAL. Adjustment is CORRECT if the engine starts
only in these positions. Adjustment is INCORRECT if the engine starts in one but not both positions. If the engine
starts in any position other than PARK or NEUTRAL, or if the engine will not start at all, the transmission range
sensor may be faulty.
Gearshift Adjustment Procedure
1. Shift transmission into PARK.
2. Release cable adjuster lock tab (3) (underneath the steering column) to unlock
cable.
3. Raise vehicle.
4. Disengage the cable eyelet from the transmission manual shift lever.
5. Verify transmission shift lever is in PARK detent by moving lever fully rearward.
Last rearward detent is PARK position.
6. Verify positive engagement of transmission park lock by attempting to rotate
propeller shaft. Shaft will not rotate when park lock is engaged.
7. Snap the cable eyelet onto the transmission manual shift lever.
8. Lower vehicle.
9. Lock shift cable by pressing cable adjuster lock tab (3) downward until it snaps into
place.
10. Check engine starting. Engine should start only in PARK and NEUTRAL.
