Use a spacer to create a .039" (1.0 mm) gap between shifter pawl and top of shift gate. Pull cable forward (rearward on Grand Cherokee) and release.
  2. Snap lock button into place. Verify adjustment by attempting to move gear selector. Gear selector should not move. Turn ignition on. Shifting out of Park should not be possible. Apply brake pedal and attempt to shift out of Park. Shifting should be possible.
  3. With transmission out of Park, release brake pedal and attempt to shift transmission through all gears. Release shift button at least once during this procedure.
