You have to take the cluster out to get access to it. That means speedo cable and then the wiring connectors.

The other end of the wire cable hooks to the shift tube with a little clip
That is the adjustment point
It you start to lower the column down, you will see that clip in a hole / cutout in the column tube
Damn straight, don't break it
Junkyard for a good one if you do

That's really all it is, a piece of string.
