I put in a new column in my 94, now I am having some difficulty's with the gear indicator, I cant seem to get it adjusted properly. I put it in park and adjust the indicator to the P and move throughout the gears and none of them seem to be right, when I put it into D I can wiggle back and forth between the N and D. Im thinking maybe something worn out in the shifter part? I still have to old column maybe I can use some parts off it, but not sure cause I went from non tilt to a tilt column. IF its not worn out parts on the shifter, could it just mean I need to adjust the shift cable down on the transmission itself?

 

Not sure if this will help but it covers the C6 and E4OD.....

Automatic Transmission Shift Rod or Shift Cable Adjustment... C6 and E4OD

1 Raise vehicle on jack stands or hoist. (I'd block well and scramble under)

2 From inside the vehicle, place the select lever in D/C6 and OD/E4OD . Hang a three

pound weight on the selector lever ( six pack still full)

3 Remove shift cable from the transmission lever ball stud/shift rod.

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

5 Position transmission lever in drive position. This is three detents from the front-most

lever position with the first position counting as one.

6 Connect the cable and end fitting to the transmission lever ball stud/shift rod.

7 Push up on the lock tab to lock the cable in the correctly adjusted position or tighten nut

and bolt.

8 Remove jack stands and lower vehicle from hoist. Remove three pound weight from

column shift select lever.

9 After making adjustment, check for Park engagment. Check the transmission control lever

in all detent positions with the engine running to make sure correct detent/transmission

actions, readjust if necessary. Reset the PRNDL indicator as required.

CAUTION:
Under no circumstances will it be permissible to adjust the cable/shift rod in any position

other than D for C6 or OD for E4OD.

Now all should be ok if it is in PARK and everything works, remove blocks.

Road test...................(drink warm beer)

 

I did this one recently on my dually with C6, it works perfectly now as far as the indicator lining up and the shift positions matching etc.

Since I only had 24's of bottles, I used a 2 litre bottle of mix for a weight.

 

Its for my E4OD Ill give it a shot here later today, hopefully it will fix it. So you put the 6 pack on the shift lever once its in Drive?
