Ram Pickup
1) Raise and support vehicle. Inspect shift linkage for worn
components. Replace any damaged or worn grommets or shift linkage
components before adjusting.
2) Ensure shift lever is in Park. Loosen lock bolt on
adjusting swivel. See Fig. 7. Ensure shift rod slides freely in
adjusting swivel. If shift rod fails to slide freely in adjusting
swivel, lubricate shift rod as necessary.
3) Rotate transmission shift lever fully toward rear of
vehicle to the Park detent position. Position adjusting swivel so it
is centered in grommet on torque shaft arm. See Fig. 7. Tighten lock
bolt on adjusting swivel. Check that engine only starts with shift
lever in Park and Neutral. If engine starts in any other gears except
Park and Neutral, shift linkage adjustment is incorrect or
park/neutral position switch is defective.

THROTTLE VALVE CABLE
1) Ensure shift lever is in Park and ignition is off. Remove
air cleaner. Disconnect throttle valve cable from stud on throttle
lever at throttle body.
2) Ensure throttle lever on throttle body is in idle position
and throttle valve lever on transmission is in idle (fully forward)
position.
3) Using small screwdriver, remove retaining clip from
throttle valve cable. Center end of throttle valve cable with stud on
throttle lever at throttle body within .039" (1.00 mm), and install
retaining clip. Install throttle valve cable on throttle lever.
4) To verify proper adjustment, ensure throttle valve lever
on throttle body and throttle lever on transmission move
