  Q: How to Install an Automatic Transmission Shifter Correctly on Dodge Magnum?

  A:

  First, unscrew the original shift knob from the lever and then screw it onto the new shifter assembly's lever no more than fourteen turns. Then, set the assembly onto the studs located on the floor pan and tighten the nuts, using a torque wrench until they read 7 Nm (65 in.lbs.). Move the floor shifter into the PARK position and then free up the adjustment screw on the gearshift cable. Right now, bring the gearshift cable to the shift lever pin, while also connecting the park lock cable to the shift mechanism cam and the notch found on the shifter assembly. Make certain the key is in the LOCK position and secured there while adjusting until the end of the process and confirm the park lock cable adjustment tab is raised to the unlocked position. Put the wiring harness connectors into the shifter assembly, ensure the shift lever remains in the PARK position and turn the adjustment screw to 7 Nm (65 in.lbs.). Nudge the shifter into PARK, check that the key is in the LOCK position and then press down on the adjustment tab for the park lock cable to lock it. Once all is finished, check that the shifter, park lock and BTSI are working properly and when needed, secure the shield over the gearshift and park lock cables with bolts.

  Q: How to Service and Repair an Automatic Transmission Shifter Assembly on Dodge Magnum?

  A:

  You should start by taking out the needed console parts to get to the shift lever assembly and shifter cables. If that helps, detach the bolts holding the shield over the gearshift and park lock cables to the floorpan so you can take it off. Engage PARK on the transmission and afterwards remove the transmission shift cable from both the shift lever and shifter assembly bracket. Lift the shift cable retainer (2) out of the hook on the shifter assembly (2). With the key in LOCK, remove the park lock cable from the shifter mechanism cam and the notch under it. Fully remove the cables from the shifter assembly and secure it loose from the floor pan by taking out all nuts. For anyone using a replacement shifter assembly, start by removing the original knob from the lever. Put the new shifter on the lever a maximum of 14 complete turns. Set the shifter assembly (1) onto the studs for it on the floor pan and secure it by adding and tightening the nuts (2) to 7 Nm (65 inch lbs.). Turn the floor shifter into PARK, unscrew (5) on the cable (1) and hook the cable to the pin (3). Glue the lock cable (1) to the cam (3) and the notch on the shifter assembly (2), keeping the key in the LOCK position. Move the park lock cable adjustment tab upward to its unlocked setting and plug the two connectors (2) into the shifter assembly. Place the shift lever into PARK, then tighten the adjustment screw to 7 Newtons meters (65 inch pounds). Make sure that the key is in LOCK and the shifter is in PARK and after that, push the adjustment tab to lock it in place. One last thing, test the shifter, park lock and BTSI to confirm they operate correctly and after that, install the floorpan shield covering those parts and secure it with bolts, along with any removed console pieces.
