Has your gear shift lever become loose? Does the gear shift indicator point at the wrong gear? Fortunately, the repair is rather simple once the shift lever mechanism is located from beneath the dash. In extreme cases a loose shift lever may result in a no start condition because the operator is unable to place the transmission in park. In this event, you should be able to tighten the bolts by hand so that the gear shift lever can be placed in the park position.

Misaligned transmission gear indicator as a result of a loose shift lever linkage.

Locate the shift lever linkage above the steering column and tighten the (2) bolts with a T-27 Torx driver.

Tightening the Torx screws on the shift linkage mechanism should realign the gear indicator and restore shift lever movement.
