The gear indicator (park, N, D, etc.) on the dash for our automatic transmission is slightly misaligned (3.1 engine, '94 Olds Cutlass Ciera). This doesn't bother me but drives my wife crazy and she drives this car most of the time. My GM service manual says 1) Position shift lever in "N" (Neutral) gate notch. 2) Guide clip on edge of shift bowl to centrally position pointer on "N" (Neutral). 3) Push clip onto bowl. Care must be taken to assure that cable rests on bowl, not on column jacket. A sketch shows the steering column (mine is tiltable) going into another tube called "steering column shift bowl" -- located just under the dash. It shows a shift indicator cable clip which apparently clips onto the rim of the "steering column shift bowl." It implies that unclipping and moving this clip until the gear indicator is centered on N and then reclipping it back on the "steering column shift bowl" would solve the problem. My problem is there is no clip on the "steering column shift bowl." I looked at my neighbors Olds and his doesn't have one either. Can anyone help?? Thanks Gene
