6. Push the gear lever into the Park position.
7. Place the key in the ignition and turn it to the «On» position, but do not start the engine.
8. Adjust the cable so that the gear selector pin fits completely into the adjuster hole on the gearbox.

1. Connect a pressure gauge to the fluid pressure solenoid port.
2. Start the engine and let it idle.
3. Check fluid pressure. It must correspond to that specified in the vehicle’s owner’s manual.
4. If fluid pressure is low, tighten the shift cable.
5. If the fluid pressure is high, loosen the shift cable.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 until correct fluid pressure is achieved.
Adviсe:
*Check the transmission fluid level periodically and add fluid as needed.
* A shift cable that is too tight may cause difficulty shifting gears.
* A shift cable that is too loose may result in jerky shifting or incomplete gear engagement.
