5. If not perfectly aligned, loosen the locknut on the
shift cable, and adjust as required.
6. Tighten the locknut.
7. Install the lock pin on the adjuster. If you feel the
lock pin binding as you reinstall it, the cable is still
out of adjustment and must be readjusted.
8. Make sure the lock pin is seated securely in the
adjuster. Replace the lock pin if it does not snap
over the cable adjuster securely.
9. Move the shift lever to each gear, and verify that the
AfT gear position indicator follows the
AfT
gear

10. Start the engine, and check the shift lever in all
gears. If any gear does not work properly, refer to
troubleshooting on page 14·153 thru 14-156.
11. Insert the ignition key into the key cylinder on the
upper column cover, and verify that the shift lock
lever releases.
