1. Place the shifter in the P position.
2. Loosen the lock-nuts.
3. Tighten the outer lock-nut X until it touches the trunnion, pulling the selector lever toward the R range side without pushing the button.
4. Back off the outer lock-nut X 1⁄4 1⁄2 turns and then tighten the inner lock-nut Y to 511 ft. lbs. (815 Nm).
