Loose gear lever, AOD, w/vid

MaDWoLF · Sep 19, 2010

I'm trying to figure this one out. My gear lever has some play in it, in all positions PRN(D)D1. I can't get it to go down to the 1 position, hits the physical column wall at D. I tried adjusting the linkage underneath, and I think it bumped everything down one spot. So then, I was able to get into 1, and D, but I think I lost (D). I hope if I can tighten up the lever on the column, it would be able to range accross all 6 positions. Made a video of it too. How do I tighten up that lever?

Never mind, I figured it out. I was mistaking the neautral and OD positions for one big neutral, since i have the linkage disconnected, i didnt feel the usual resistance and thought something was wrong.
