Shifter Pointer Adjustment

Hi All, Just a quick note to ask if anyone has had success adjusting the shifter on an automatic so the pointer is directed to the correct indicated gear. When mine is in drive, it points directly between the "D" and the "3".

I've had the shifter apart and it is adjusted to the limit and won't quite align. Any help is appreciated.

I have. There is an adjustment at the tranny. You turn it in or out to get the correct alignment. It is exactly like your kickdown cable adjustment. You will have to raise the car in the air, take the little wire keeper off, back off the locking nut 7 or 8 mm, pop it off and turn it out until you get it right. Not rocket science.
