Shift Cable Inspection / Adjustment
Shift cable adjustment may be necessary if symptoms include:
• No AWD or gear position display on instrument cluster
• Ratcheting noise on deceleration
• Inability to engage a gear
• Excessive gear clash (noise)
• Gear selector moving out of desired range
1. Locate the shift cable in the rear LH wheel well area.
2. Inspect shift cable, clevis pin, pivot bushings, and dust
boot. Replace if worn or damaged.
3. If adjustment is required, loosen the lower jam nut and pull
the cable out of the mount to move the upper jam nut.
4. Adjust the shift cable so there is the same amount of cable
travel when shifting slightly past the detents of HIGH (H)
gear and PARK (P).
5. Thread the upper or lower jam nut as required to obtain
proper cable adjustment.
NOTE: This procedure may require a few attempts to
obtain the proper adjustment.
6. Once the proper adjustment is obtained, place the shift
cable and upper jam nut into the mount. Tighten the lower
jam nut against the mount.
7. Start engine and shift through all gears to ensure the shift
cable is properly adjusted. If transmission still ratchets after
cable adjustment, check the CVT system for belt movement
at idle. If difficulty shifting persists, the transmission may
require service.
