the cable that comes from the front connects to the steering shaft. this locks the steering column when in park... the rear cable goes to the shifter. this has a small adjuster bolt to correct the shifter to the trans... place in drive put trans in drive. tighten adjuster bolt and check the feel of trans and shifter to make shure yr in total gear when the shifter is in place.
Its better recomended that you take the pan off to conferm the shift **** is better seated .
