Montero SR 4WD V6-3.5L SOHC (1997)
Shift Cable: Adjustments
NOTE: It is possible to confirm whether control cable is properly adjusted by checking whether the park/neutral position switch is performing well.
1. Apply the parking and service brakes fully.
2. Set the selector lever to the R position.
3. Turn the ignition key to the START position.
4. Slowly move the selector lever upward until it clicks as it fits into the notch of the P position. If the starter motor operates when the lever makes a
click, P position is correct.
5. Then slowly move the selector lever to the N position by the same procedure as in the preceding paragraph. If the starter motor operates when the
selector lever is at the N position, then the N position is correct.
6. Also check that the vehicle doesn't begin to move and the lever doesn't stop between P-R-N-D.
7. The control cable is properly adjusted if, as described above, the starter motor starts in both P range and N range.
