Service and repair of the 42LE automatic transmission shifter should begin by taking out the shifter handle and the console bezel. Remove the Autostick switch connector if your car is equipped with Autostick. Open the adjuster screw on the shifter adjuster, then pull the shifter cable away from the shifter assembly bracket and from the shift pin. At this point, it's important not to break the tab as you disconnect the interlock cable from the shifter's base. Take the five nuts off the shifter base and bracket onto the transmission floor and then remove the assembly from the car. After fitting the shifter assembly, attach it and tighten the five nuts to 31 Nm (23 ft. lbs.). Always put the shift lever and transaxle into "Park" while the rear sprag engages; move the vehicle back and forth to make sure the sprag is fully engaged. In the ignition lock position, match the eyelet from the shift cable to the shift pin. Next, attach the entire cable to the bracket near the shifter. Place the interlock cable core wire into the adjustment lever groove, so the interlock cable slug is fitted securely in position. Insert the interlock cable conduit end fitting into the bracket. If you have Autostick, connect the similar connector found under the steering column. The last step is to adjust the gear shift and interlock cables since how well you adjust them matters a lot.
