Selector lever cable must always be adjusted if:
- The selector lever cable was removed from the transmission.
- The engine and/or transmission were removed and installed.
- Parts of the subframe were removed and installed.
- The cable itself or the selector mechanism was removed and installed.
- Engine/transmission positions changes, for example, were installed free of tension.
-- Move the selector lever into the "P" position.
- The adjustment bolt -2- must be loosened.
-- Move the lever/selector shaft -3- into the "P" position (push the lever to the rear).
WARNING:
Make sure the parking lock is latched.
NOTE:
Make sure the transmission is in the "P" position (parking lock is engaged) if raising the vehicle. It must not be possible to turn both front wheels in one direction at the same time.
-- Lightly tap the button in the handle forward and backward and make sure to keep the handle in the "P" position.
This locates the cable core in its optimal position.
