wheels, and turn the ignition key off.

contacts the cut-out before a shift is complete, the

shift cable is not adjusted correctly.

proceed with Shift Cable Adjustment.

STOP!

If the shifter does not contact the dash in park or high

the shift cable requires no further adjustment, reinstall

the rubber bezel.
