Position transmission shift lever in Overdrive position. Hold shift lever against rear overdrive stop with a constant force of about 3 lbs. (1.4 kg). Loosen shift control cable retaining nut at transmission. Ensure transmission/transaxle manual lever is in Overdrive position. Overdrive is second detent from rear most position.
Tighten shift control cable retaining nut to 13-17 ft. lbs. (17-23 N.m). Check transmission operation in each position. Ensure neutral start switch and back-up lights operate properly.
try adjusting it but trans is probably shot have a trans guy look at it.
