Long since gone.
On a late model AW4 ('99), what is the procedure to adjust the shift cable (side of trans allowing the shifter to rest in the appropriate spot denoting drive, reverse, neutral etc)? I know it has something do with the bracket on the belhousing and the funky plastic cable adjuster on the DS of the trans but FSM and search has availed nothing.
 
Ok, here goes, from 99 FSM (abridged for brevity):

1: shift into park

2: raise vehicle

3: release cable adjuster clamp at trans. end of cable to unlock it

4: unsnap cable from cable mounting bracket on trans.

5: slide cable eyelet off transmission shift lever (that is the lever on the tranny).

6: verify that trans. shift lever is in Park detent by moving lever fully rearward. Last rearward detent is park position.

7: Verify that it's locked by trying to turn the driveshaft.

8: Slide cable eyelet onto trans. shift lever

9: snap shift cable adjuster into mounting bracket on transmission.

10: Lock shift cable by pressing cable adjuster clamp down until it snaps into place.

11: Lower the vehicle and check that it starts only in Park and Neutral.
