- Set the park brake and chock the wheels.
- Verify the transaxle shift control lever is in the park position.
- Verify the transaxle manual shift lever is in the park position.
- Release the shift control cable adjuster clip.
- Slide the two halves of the shift control cable together until all free play is removed.
- Depress the adjuster clip locking the adjuster clip completely.
- Pull both halves of the cable in opposite directions to verify the cable adjuster is secured.
- Check the transaxle shift control lever in all gear selections for proper operation.
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 transaxle range selector cable while the transaxle and the gear selector are in the Park position only. Failure to do so may cause mis-adjustment.
