Shift Indicator Adjustment in 92-96 Source: by Steve83 (Steve, That dirty old truck) at SuperMotors.net

"BEFORE BEGINNING, inspect items #26, 27, 28, & 34 in this diagram for looseness:



CAUTION: Under no circumstances should the cable be adjusted in any position other than D (drive) for the C6 transmission (7003) or (D) (overdrive) for the E4OD transmission.

1. From inside the vehicle, place the transmission range selector lever in the DRIVE position (C6) or the OVERDRIVE position (4R70W and E4OD). Hang an improvised three-pound weight (#1) on the transmission range selector lever (#2).

2. Raise vehicle on a hoist and position suitable safety stands under vehicle.

3. Remove the shift cable (#5) from the transmission lever ball stud.

4. Pull down the lock tab on the shift cable body.

5. Position the transmission range selector lever (#2) in the DRIVE position (C6) or the OVERDRIVE position (E4OD). This is three detents from the front-most lever position with the first position counting as one.

6. Connect the cable end fitting to the transmission lever ball stud.

7. Push up on the lock tab to lock the cable in the correctly adjusted position.

8. Remove safety stands and lower vehicle from hoist. Remove the three-pound weight from the transmission range selector lever.

9. After making the adjustment, check for park engagement. Check the transmission range selector lever in all detent positions with the engine (6007) running to make sure correct detent/transmission actions. Readjust if necessary.

Shift Indicator Cable

1. Remove the four screws from the lower steering column shroud. Remove the lower steering column shroud.

2. Rotate transmission range selector lever clockwise until it bottoms out in first gear.

3. Rotate transmission range selector lever counterclockwise three detents (overdrive position).

4. Hang a three pound weight on the transmission range selector lever.

5. Center pointer in the middle of D if equipped with C6 transmission, or (D) if equipped with E4OD transmission, by rotating the thumbwheel located on right-hand side of steering column actuator housing.

Shift Indicator Adjustment; "...I always unhook the cable (shifting to L or 1 makes it easier), then spin the wheel. You can't really get to the indicator end to unhook it - I do it at the shifter (wheel) end. There's nothing inherently wrong with removing the wheel assy. But when you're trying to pull the cluster, it's easier to feed the bare cable end back around the column & thru the wiring harness. If the cable sheath is white, it's probably about to break no matter how careful you are. If it's black with mesh reinforcement, you almost can't break it..."

Stu,

You mentioned that you have an AOD trans in there. I believe that in '95 E4OD would have been standard.
