Shifter cable alignment
Category name: I want to perform aThis procedure describes how to connect the shifter inside the car correctly with the transmission. If this is not done according following instruction, it is possible that the transmission is in another state (PRND) than the driver (or shifter) wants.
The dashboard will always indicates what the state is of the transmission, regardless what the position of the shifter is. For a good cable adjustment the dashboard and shifter will indicate the same position (PRND).
-Put the shifter in P position
-Make sure the transmission is in P position, shift lever to the complete outer position like on the picture:
-If the shift lever is not in this position, push the shift lever manually to the outer right position:
-The P position can be verified by checking the indication on the dashboard.
-Turn both front wheels at the same time till they are locked. Now the transmission is locked in P position. You can still however turn the shift lever out of P position but do not do this at this moment.
-If there is a bracket to hold the cable, connect first the cable to the bracket.
-Connect now the cable to the shift lever with screw and nut.
-When tightening the screw, do not bend the cable or the shift lever!!
The shifter inside the car is now aligned with the transmission and dashboard will show the same position like the shifter.
