shift cable adjustment. If transmission shift lever will not position properly in both gears,
move transmission shift lever stud "a," from top hole in shift lever, to bottom hole, and
recheck for proper positioning. If proper positioning is still not obtained, remote control
does not provide sufficient shift cable travel and must be replaced.
