You can adjust the the shifter position at the transmission. There are a couple threads on here about how to do it.

ohk, not to sure what to search under, think u can point me in the rite direction? thanks

Here you go!

SHIFT CABLE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE 1. Ensure that the shift cable is not restricted. 2. Place the steering column shift leverinto the neutral position. 3. Position the shift cable to assume a natural routing. The shift cable must be free to move 20.0 mm (0.80 inch) axially during the adjustment under adjustment spring loads. 4. Pull the cable end completely forward and release it. (when the cable is pulled completely forward and released, the adjustment spring will position the cable to its most rearward position.) 5. Connect the end of the shift cable to the transmission shift lever stud ball.

NOTICE: Do not pull the shift cable end forward of the transmission shift lever stud ball during installation. Pulling the shift cable end forward of the transmission shift leverballstud beforeinstalling the shift cable end to the transmission shift leverballstud will result in a poor adjustment.

6. Press the locking tab IN in order to secure the shift cable to the transmission bracket. 7. If the vehicle is equiped with a transfer case, install the bolt and washer securing the clip and the shift cable to the transfer case. 8. Install the grommet to the hole in the floor panel. 9. Install the three shift cable clips to the body.

If it is just the indicator and not the actual shifter itself, then the park/neutral position switch may need to be adjusted. That is independent of the shift cable adjustment.

I run through both in this thread: gear shift linkage
Found using the search term "shift+cable+adjustment" with an author of "swartlkk" :icon_wink:

The procedure posted above was also copied from a post I made way back in 2008.

Search is a wonderful tool!

Haha I used a search to find your search terms to find what I posted above! I tried to quote it so you got credit but the thread was closed and it was easier to copy and paste that part on my cell lol.

ohk, thanks all
