Need a referral for AT expert.

Went to the casa last week for 80Km PMS, had my shifter checked as well...
I dont think replacing the cable is the right diagnosis by my SA, knowing na CASA yun, I do expect them to tell me that.

My AT kasi has this problem of not lining up the shifter correctly sa N at D.

Assuming you're looking at the shifter console directly overhead looking down to where PRND21 is printed, these things happen.

Meaning, if you move the shifter downwards (from P to 1 direction) Once you pass R and enter N, the car will be in neutral but the reverse light stays on.

You move the lever somewhere between N and D, it goes off but stays in neutral.

If you move the shifter from N to D, the car stays at neutral, you have to move the shifter somewhere between D and 2 for it to shift to drive.

If you shift from 2 to D or any upward movement, walang problema.

I had it checked and sabi daw yung control cable daw ang problema. Makes sense coz the shifting of the tranny is fine, di lang talaga nagliline up yung shifter.

I don't think a replacement is in order since di naman putol or whatever.

After some searching sa web, most AT has this innards sa may shifter.



As you can see, there are 2 cables displayed and the lower gearshift cable is adjustable.

Tingin ko kayang i-adjust lang eh. Parang kulang lang paghatak nya if you're pulling it downwards.

Any shop you recommend for this job? Looks like a simple (for experts with AT) dismantling of the center console and adjustment. Although I'm sure may technique and procedure sya na specific....

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks a lot.

DIY job iyan sa U.S. Prone din sa ganyan mga Montero. Pero kahit ako medyo mag-aalinlangan with a job like that. Hehehe.

i think its the bushing at the end of the cables....

kung cable ang sira, dapat stiff ang pag select ng gears...

Just an update so other guys may know.

A friend of mine who's a mechanic (banaweonline) took apart my center console and other related interior trim to check the shifter issue.

Turns out that there's a bar sticking out sideways perpendicular from the base of the shift lever.

That bar connects to a metal o-ring ended rod that connects to the clutch control cable.

Simply put, the bushing that's supposed to keep the metal o-ring moving back and forth from the shifter base rod.

Kinda like a grommet. That's it.

All fixed in 30mins or so.

The dealer wanted to replace the whole control cable which has no relations with the said problem... 7K+ singil.
