Re: 700R4 shifter Cable

Place shifter in park on the trans the lever should be all the way forward then hook up the shifter cable dont hook it up in neutral once they are both connected remove the cable from the trans lever and slide the bracket retainer in. Next pop the cable back on the lever or bolt it back on w.e style u have u now have to remove to bolts from the trans pan for the bracket to bolt to undo the two bolts to where the bracket lines up bolt the bracket up and ur then good to go

Re: 700R4 shifter Cable

Ok, right now I have the cable and bracket mounted.
Undo the cable on trans... Move trans linkage all the way clockwise. "Park".
Put shifter in park, hook up shifter, and the hook up (bolt cable) to linkage on trans.

Making both sides in park.

Go to go

Re: 700R4 shifter Cable

That should be correct the lever should be all the way forward
