The linkage adjustment is important for the automatic transaxle. Great care should be exercised because improper adjustment will result in damage to the transaxle.
To determine if adjustment is necessary, check the shifting operation with the engine off and the parking brake applied. While holding in the release button with your thumb, move the selector lever forward until you can feel that the transaxle is in park. Then move the lever back and feel for the five remaining positions. If the gear selector indicator points to the proper gear at each stop, and if the selector lever does not jump when the release button is let go, the shift linkage is properly adjusted. If this is not the case adjustment is necessary.
