Shift Linkage

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 1986 Jeep Wagoneer, 1986 Jeep Pickup, 1986 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, 1986 Jeep Comanche, and 1986 Jeep Cherokee. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Loosen shift rod trunnion jam nuts at transmission lever. Remove shift rod-to-bellcrank lock pin. Disengage trunnion and shift rod. Place selector lever in "P" position and lock steering column. Move transmission shift lever to full rear Park position.
  2. Adjust shift rod trunnion to obtain free pin fit in bellcrank arm. Tighten jam nuts. On vehicles with shift lever on column, make sure linkage lash is eliminated by pulling down on shift rod and pushing up on outer bellcrank when tightening jam nuts.
  3. Check steering column lock for ease of operation. Ensure engine starts in "N" or "P", only. If starter engages in any drive gear, or does not work in "N" or "P", check for proper shift linkage adjustment or faulty neutral safety switch.
