Shift cable too tight
 
Hey guys, so my truck has been harder and harder to get to shift into park lately. When I try to park, lots of times I can feel it try and grab but it's just missing. I know because I'll try and shift into park and as I roll backwards i hear it. I looked underneath when I took it to my mechanic and he showed me the shift cable and it's super tight and needs more slack to get into park. He suggested maybe finding a longer shift cable. Is there any way to adjust it so I can give it more slack? Or do I need a longer cable. I have a 3 inch body lift, maxed torsion bars and a 2 inch aal.

when you did the body lift it should have told you how to give it more slack, no?

which body lift did you do

Did you do anything to the shift cable when you did the body lift ?

As 6.2 stated is seems like it should have been done then.

i don't remember anything in the instructions saying i needed to relocate or mod the cable

i'll look them up and double check though

yea the directions only say to unclip it from the firewall really. nothing else about the shift cable is mentioned

Weird. Maybe it got caught on another wire or hose when you lifted.

Just finished my lift and have no problems with shifting.

yea i'll have to check that out i guess. Any way to replace it with a longer cable?
