75 b210 automatic. I have to push really hard to get the parking gear to engauge. Is this an easy adjustment? It wont turn over unless the parking gear is engauged either. any help is much appreciated.

Yes, easy adjustment. The shifter is in the console.

 

The adjustment of linkage is as important as "Inspection of oil level" for the automatic transmission. Therfore, great care should be exercised because defective adjustment will result in the breakdown of the transmission.

1. Prior to installing control knob, set the dimension "A" to 11 to 12 mm

2. Install control knob on lever. At the same time, check the dimension "B" and adjust it to 0.1 to 1.1 mm by turning pusher

3. Loosen adjust nuts. Set control lever and selctor lever at "N" position, moreover, set the clearance "C" to 1 mm by turning in or out adjusting nuts at trunnion with connectors selector range lever.

After adjusting make sure that control lever can be set in any position correctly and that selector lever operates properly without any binding.

 

All you need to do this is the factory service manual.

if you are unlucky like me, all the bushings are completely gone in the shift linkage. not a hard fix though.

Damn. I go and pressure wash the under side 2ND TIME NOW and the soap is out on the high pressure setting. AGAIN!!

 

I have the service manual. I'll study it tonight.
