Range Selector Lever Cable Adjustment

Warning: The automatic transaxle range selector cable is made out of two cable sections. After initial connection never separate the two metal couplings from one another. Integrity of the connection of the two metal couplings will be lost if separation of the two metal couplings occurs. When servicing the transaxle remove the cable at the automatic transaxle range selector lever and at the automatic transaxle range selector cable bracket. If either section of the cable needs to be replaced, replace both of the cable sections. Loss of connection integrity of the two metal couplings can cause loss of transaxle shift control which could result in personal injury.

Note: Adjust the automatic transmission range selector cable while the transmission and the gear selector are in the Park position only. Failure to do so may cause miss-adjustment.

1. Set the park brake and chock the wheels.
2. Remove the battery tray. Refer to Battery Tray Replacement .
3. Verify the transmission range select lever is in the park position.
4. Verify the transmission manual gear lever is in the park position.



5. Release the range select cable adjuster clip (1).



6. Slide the two halves (1, 2) of the range select cable together until all free play is removed.



7. Depress the adjuster clip (1) locking the adjuster clip completely.
8. Pull both halves of the range select cable in opposite directions to verify the cable adjuster is secured.
9. Install the battery tray. Refer to Battery Tray Replacement .
10. Check the transmission range select lever in all gear selections for proper operation.
