E99 shifter indicator adjustment

Apparently I don't have the fancy adjuster the 99+ have. Everything I search for just comes up with "turn the adjuster under the dash".
Bolts on shifter bracket are tight.
Anyone know the procedure for a e99?

Just making sure you pulled the cluster out to try and adjust the indicator? That is where the adjustment is made.

Are you sure? I read it has to be done at the trans before but I can't find it.
99+ have this

the adjuster should be right on the cable, close to the 2 bolts for shifter bracket. My E99 has the adjuster there, I imagine you would have seen it when looking in there tho.

Yes, Here is the 99 model year manual on how to adjust. It looks the same as my 2002 manual as well.

Nope, looks a lot like a ranger/explorer cable ATP Y-1309 but I doubt it would fit in that bracket if it wasn't stock. The videos I've found for adjusting them have the wheel too...

I don't remember exactly where mine is but it's around the column there somewhere and it wasn't hard to find. I did not have to pull the cluster to get at it.

I think I'm looking in the wrong spot, Back under the dash I go.

Edit:
My car alarm box and wiring were resting on top of it so I couldn't see it. I was looking at the wrong shift cable that a youtube guide said to follow.
Thanks everyone.
