shift cable

[Old_Skl_Raptr]

does anyone know how to adjust the shifter cable on an automatic tranny. after the body lift went on i cant get it into park. the indicator is on P but its really reverse. i heard there was an adjuster wheel but i cant seem to find it.

yes, there is an adjustment wheel sorry i can not remember which way you turn it for which direction. here are a couple of pic of where is is at and what it looks like on my 99 150 screw. Hope this helps

so im guessin thats at the end thats not on the transmission?? none of that looks like it does on mine and im just wondering?

yep your right it is not at the transmission. this is under the stering wheel. all it adjust is the maker to tell you what gear your in. on my truck you can adjust the cable. all you have to do is pop the cable off. there is no clip is just a ball in a socket type connection. then you can move the clip forwards or backwards.

ok ill try the wheel. i dont wanna pop the connection off cuz its most likely brittle like the rest of the plastic on the truck. and id sure hate to break it and have to crawl under to put it in gear haha

in the second pic, the slightly rusty bolt at the top middle. is that the bolt in the steering linkage? im just trying to get oriented in your pictures lol

they are actually tuff, i had to replace my shift cable a few months back it i used a screwdriver to pop it off and it didn't even phase it.

ok i may man up later today and try that haha

i sthe transmission going into park or just the indicater say its in reverse. the wheel under the steering wheel won't adjust the cable going to the transmission, just the indicator.

the indicators in P but the trannys in reverse. but the key thinks its park so i can pull my key out and all that. and i shut it off in N and put on the Ebrake
