Refitting and adjustment
19 Refitting is a reversal of removal, but before
attaching the cable end to the selector lever on
the transmission, check the adjustment as
follows. With the selector lever in position P
and the cable attached to the lever inside the
car, check that the lever on the transmission is
also in position P. Offer the cable end onto the
transmission lever and check that the hole in
the end correctly aligns with the pin on the
lever. If not, loosen the locknut on the cable
and turn the end fitting in or out as required
until it aligns correctly with the pin, then tighten
the locknut. Locate the cable on the pin and
secure with the clip. On completion, check that
it is only possible to start the engine with the
selector lever in positions P or N. Also check
that the selector lever position shown on the
floor mounted panel matches the positions
indicated on the instrument panel.
