Move lower cable bracket until distance between nipple and top of
cover "A" on throttle cable is .02-.06" (.5-1.5 mm).
3) Tighten lower cable bracket mounting bolt to 108-126 INCH
lbs. (12-14 N.m). With throttle lever in wide open throttle position,

GALANT, MIRAGE & SIGMA
1) With transaxle select lever in Neutral, move gearshift
lever into 4th gear. It may be necessary to depress clutch pedal.
2) Loosen shift cable adjuster nuts (inside of vehicle) and
disconnect cable end from shift lever pin. Tilt gearshift lever into
4th gear position until it touches stopper. See Fig. 3. Hold lever in
this position and adjust shift lever cable so cable aligns with shift
lever pin.
3) Move shift lever between 3rd, Neutral and 4th gear
positions. Shift lever-to-stopper clearances should be equal on both
sides of lever. See Fig. 3. If clearances "A" and "B" are not equal,
readjust shift cable. Road test vehicle to ensure proper adjustment
and smooth shifting.
