The condition of indicator light bleed-through from adjacent ranges may be experienced on some vehicles equipped with shift console. If a comment is
received, adjustments can be optimized using the following procedure:
1.
Remove the shift handle and retainer, ash tray and trim plate assembly.
2.
Loosen the four screws holding the console, two in glove box, two under trim plate.
3.
Put the shift lever in reverse and remove the lash towards neutral.
4.
Turn the park lights on.
5.
Slide the console forward and backward until the light stops bleeding into neutral.
6.
Position the console (usually to the right) so that as much as possible of the light opening in the pointer coincides with window in the dial.
7.
Tighten the four console retainer screws.
8.
Position the shift lever into each detent and check for adequate illumination and no bleed-through. If bleed-through still occurs in 1 to 2 and/or 2 to
D perform steps nine through eleven. If no bleed-through, reinstall shift handle and retainer; ash tray and trim plate assembly.
9.
Remove the four console screws.
10.
Install 10 mm thick shims at the console rear attaching screws.
11.
