Sloppy Shifter

[jacob_coulter]

Is there an easy way to re-align the automatic transmission column shifter to point at the right gear.

My shifter pointer is way off, and I have to "feel" my way to find the right gear.

The shifting action also feels sloppy, Like a stick in molasses, not firm and tight.

Is this easy to fix, or should I go to a tranny shop and let them fix it?

Thanks for the help

I believe it has to do with your shift cable stretching of being out of adjustment. I have almost no experience with auto Chevy's but I would imagine that is a pretty easy fix.

im not sure about fixing the actual feel of it. i think trucksas old as some of ours just dont have the greatest feel to em.

now the indicator is a pretty easy fix. i believe you remove the dash bezel and you'll see a small metal clip on part of the of top of the steering column that has a small string running from it to the indicator mech. just slide it over one way or the other to adjust.

Easy fix, ditch the column shift and get a real shifter...
