The procedure is to place the steering column shift lever back into the park (P) position, raise the vehicle, ensure that the transmission manual shaft lever is in the park (P) position, pull the white cover back to expose the natural-colored lock, push the end of the transmission end inside the shifter end until the blue spring on the transmission end is fully compressed, release the white cover, and then verify the white cover conceals the natural colored lock.

The procedure is to ensure that the steering column shift lever is in the park (P) position, raise and suitably support the vehicle, grasp the shift cable shifter end in the left hand and the shift cable transmission end in the right hand, align the outside diameter of the transmission end with the inside diameter of the shifter end, release the transmission end and allow the spring to tension/adjust the cable system, pull the white cover on the shifter end back, push the natural colored lock button down to engage the locking teeth on the transmission end, release the white cover, verify the white cover conceals the natural colored lock, and then test the transmission for proper shift operation.
