How do you adjust the transmission cable on a 2005 silverado pickup?
The shift lever works fine in every gear but won't go into park unless you reach under the truck and move it about 1/4" and it will go in park.I know there is a way to adjust the cable but don"t know how! Could someone help me out?

 

It's kinda hard to explain how to, but the adjustment is right by the frame rail under the drivers seat. You have to pull a clip out and turn it untill its adjusted right. Don't know if that helps much but like I said, its hard to explain.

 

here you go





Place the steering column shift lever back into the park (P) position.
Raise the vehicle.
Ensure that the transmission manual shaft lever is in the park (P) position.
Pull the white cover (1) back to expose the natural colored lock (2). Under the lock (2), insert a flat bladed screwdriver under the lock ramp located at the top of the lock. The lock will pop up, and the transmission end will move slightly away from the shifter end.



Push the end of the transmission end (3) inside the shifter end (1) until the blue spring (2) on the transmission end (3) is fully compressed, this will engage the inner wire and lock both wires together.




Important
DO NOT hold the transmission end (1) during this operation, this will result in a mis-adjusted cable.


Release the transmission end (3) and allow the spring (2) to tension/adjust the cable system.
Pull the white cover (5) on the shifter end (1) back.
Push the natural colored lock button (4) down to engage the locking teeth on the transmission end (3).



Release the white cover (1).
Verify the white cover (1) conceals the natural colored lock (2).
