Questionreplacing shift cable,using haynes manual.confused about body-core adjuster&range selector pin location.also did not have in neutral before starting replaceing cable,cannot get shifter into neutral.thank you for your time
AnswerHi Stewart,
The new cable should have an adjustment on it to allow it to move in-and-out slightly to accommodate different bends in different vehicles. I think what the instructions are telling you is that you need to set the transmission selector arm in Neutral and then set the shift lever in neutral before adjusting the cable to the proper length and securing it. Most steering columns have adjustments on them for the selector arm, but I'm not thinking they are asking you to adjust the cable that way.
'Body-Core' adjuster to me would mean the cable.
Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).
Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
