Tighten rhe locknut to 7 N.m (0.7 kgim,5 lbf'ft).
Install the lock pin on the adjuster' lf you feel the
lock pin binding as you reinstall it. the cable is still
out of adjustment and must be readjusted
Make sure the lock pin is seated in the adiuster
securery.
lMove the shift lever to each position, and verify that
the shift position indicator follows the automatlc
transaxle gear position switch.
Start the engine, and check the shift lever in all
positions. lf any gear does not work properly, refer
to troubleshooting (see page 14-294 and 14-295).
