To determine if transmission shift cable is properly set:
Stop the engine and apply the parking brake.
Place transmission selector lever to the D (overdrive) position.
Push button on handle and holding the lever in this position, move it
slightly up and down. A slight resistance will be felt as the lever is moved up
and down.
Position the lever at the position where the least amount of resistance is
felt. This is the center of the transmission detent.
Let go of button. It should seat directly in the lever detent. If it does
not, the shift cable requires adjustment. Refer to Section 07-05.
