Gearshift Linkage Adjustment: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Normal operation of the Park/Neutral Position Switch provides a quick check to confirm proper linkage adjustment.
Move the selector level slowly forward until it clicks into the (P) Park position. The starter should operate.
After checking the (P) position, move selector slowly toward the (N) Neutral position until lever is in the (N) position. If the starter will also operate at this point the gearshift linkage is properly adjusted. If the starter fails to operate in either position, linkage adjustment is required.
