photoguy_43420 Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 Okay did the swap. What I'm having problems is with the shift indicator cable. It seems like it is to long. I have the clip on the notch on the steering column. I put it in low 1 then it moves just a little from park.It is the same cable as before. Any ideas?

I moved your post to Tech so more eyeballs would see it.
silvertwinkiehobo Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 Is this the GM design with the cable clipped to the shift collar?
schardein Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 It's been a while since I messed with mine, but I think you just adjust the location of the clip (at the end of the cable) on the steering column edge. Adjust it to get the most accurate readings from all gears. The length of the cable probably varies slightly from part to part. The exact placement of the gauge cluster in relation to the steering column probably varies very slightly also. So some adjustment is to be expected, I think.
photoguy_43420 Posted July 10, 2020 Author Posted July 10, 2020 It is a 88. I just don't see how you adjustment the cable. There doesn't seem like there is a place for adjustment. Just the cable and clip.
Pete M Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 I think there's a writeup in the link in my sig that covers the cable. I think.
JustEmptyEveryPocket Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Not sure if any of the following will help or not. I just did a google search for "site:comancheclub.com shift indicator" and am posting the top four results. You might try variations on my search to see if you can narrow it down. In case you didn't know, the "site:comancheclub.com" part limits all results to that domain. So everything will come as links to this site. Super handy to avoid the spam crap thats out there. Good luck!
boxyjeep Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 The indicator cable and clip can be clipped onto the steering column collar at any position. You simply adjust it until it reflects correctly.
photoguy_43420 Posted July 13, 2020 Author Posted July 13, 2020 How do you adjust the cable? I have done this swap. All I have is the cable and clip. I can't figure out how to adjust it.

photoguy_43420 Posted July 19, 2020 Author Posted July 19, 2020 Here is what it looks like. How do you adjust this?
jdog Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 With the shifter in park take the clip and pull it so the needles on park, clip onto collar. To check it put shifter in first and see if it lines up if not make the necessary adjustments. There is no other adjustment for this.
photoguy_43420 Posted July 22, 2020 Author Posted July 22, 2020 I put another one in. It looks the same except it was not fraying. It seems like the cable is to long. The only selection I can get is low 2 and then the needle finally moves to park. That's what confuses me. I don't see how you can adjust this. Has anyone have an extra laying around? Would like to see another one and measure it. Thanks, Guy
jdog Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 seems like your spring is sticking if it does 1st and 2nd then bounce to park
MJCARENA Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 Looks like 7 inches from the end of the clip. Do you have it routed the correct way?
photoguy_43420 Posted July 22, 2020 Author Posted July 22, 2020 MJCARENA Thanks! The way I routed it was through the square slot on the column and then to the clip "holder" on the column. Is that correct?
MJCARENA Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 The way I routed it was through the square slot on the cluster and then to the clip "holder" on the column. Is that correct? Yes, I was thinking on the unit itself.
