Look at the steering column between the steering wheel and the dash. Right at the dash you will see a two piece plastic cowl held together by two screws. Remove the screws and split the cowl apart.
You will now see the little inner cable that comes from the shift indicator hooked onto a spud on the shift tube. You will also see the outer cable with a plastic tab on it that is fastened to the dash with a single screw. Loosen that screw so that you can move the plastic tab back and forth. Move it to a position where the shift indicator points to where you want and tighten the screw. Check the shift indicator through the range of movement in the shifter, readjust the plastic tab if necessary. Refit the cowl.
