How to take off the cable to the linkage rod in a 2001silhouette Oldsmobile

To adjust the shift linkage on your 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 3.9L engine, follow these steps:

1. Locate the shift linkage on the transmission. It should be near the top of the transmission and will have a rod or cable connected to it.
2. Look for the adjustment nut or bolt on the linkage. This is typically a threaded rod or bolt that can be turned to adjust the length of the linkage.
3. Loosen the lock nut on the adjustment bolt, using a wrench.
4. Move the shift lever on the transmission to the desired position (such as Neutral or Park).
5. Adjust the linkage by turning the adjustment bolt or rod until the shift lever on the transmission is aligned with the desired position.
6. Tighten the lock nut on the adjustment bolt, using a wrench.
7. Test the shift lever on the transmission by moving it through all the gear positions to ensure that it is properly adjusted and working correctly.

If you are unsure about how to adjust the shift linkage, or if you are having difficulty with the process, it may be best to consult a professional mechanic or refer to your vehicle's service manual for detailed instructions.

need to open door panel and check actuator--linkage and linkage rod connection clips

It is a cable not linkage rods and they seldom break. You will need a shop to look at this to see what is wrong.

Either it was not installed properly or... your clutch linkage (cable) is stuck or too tight and not releasing the clutch all of the way.


Disconnect the clutch cable/rod from the clutch arm and see if you can move it or if when you remove it does it goes back further with the spring i.e. not seated with the linkage in place...? (you should feel the spring action of the clutch on the plate)
if it does spring back further the cable/rod linkage needs to be adjusted
Otherwise take it apart and reinstall. Also check the clutch pedal to make sure it did not become misalligned while it was diconnected.

your linkage rod to the outside door handle has disconnected , if you open up the door panel to access the lock linkage rods you will find the rod that is disconnected . There is a plastic bushing the rod is secured with if it is broken you must replace it , if the rod will not stay in place replace the bushing , hope this helps you out

The tie rods connect the steering linkage to the steering knuckle. Tie rod ends are sometimes in more than two places, but anything that applies steering input needs to be inspected.
