Ok. . .I'll bite on this one.

The shifter has a lever on it that slides in the indicator (number 5). This lever can be adjusted.

1) Put the shifter in neutral.
2) Take the screw loose (number 4) holding the link and move it until the indicator shows neutral.
3) Tighten the link screw to about 3 lbs of torque.
