Well, I may have just overlooked it, but I couldn't find any info here on the fourm on how to fix a shift indicator that doesn't read correctly, so I went outside, and figured it out in a matter of minutes. Literally. I figured there was obviously a cable attached to the gear shift lever, and maybe, just maybe a way to adjust it. Sure enough, there is. So, here is a write up on how to do it, with pics! Hope this helps some of you if you were not sure how to fix it.
Tools Required:
7mm 1/4 in. socket
1/4 in. ratchet
Your index finger
Equipment Conditions:
Engine OFF.
Parking brake set.
Wheels chocked (just to be extra safe).
WARNING: Ensure parking brake is set and wheels are chocked. Failure to comply may result in injury or death.
1. Remove three screws (2) and driver side kick panel (1) from instrument panel (3).
2. With transmission in PARK, turn adjusting screw (4) counterclockwise to move orange indicator (5) left, and clockwise to move indicator right.
3. When orange indicator (5) is in desired position, shift gear selector (not shown) through all gears. If indicator is out of adjustment in any other gear, continue adjusting screw (4) in that gear until indicator is in desired position.
4. Install driver side kick panel (2) on instrument panel (3) with three screws (1). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Once again, hopefully this helps. Maybe this can be a sticky??
