I got the shift cable replaced but I have no idea how to adjust the shift cable. Recommend some guidance in how to adjust them from the front (the cable attached to the gear selector is already installed) but I can't adjust nor attach the cable from the front.

Hi,

The adjustment is done from inside the passenger compartment. I don't believe there are any adjustments made at the transmission itself.

I attached the directions below for the adjustment of the cable. Take a look through them and let me know if it helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
