ABSTRACT:
An adjusting device (10) for coordinating the position of a pointer element (25) in a drive range indicator assembly (23) with the position of a drive range selecting lever (15) by varying the effective length of the control cable (18) operatively connected therebetween. The control cable (18) has a sheath (20) and core (16). One end of the core (16) is attached to the pointer element (25), and the other end is attached to the drive range selecting lever (15). The device (10) has a base, or frame structure (29), and a block (40) is mounted for reciprocation on the frame structure (29). One end of the sheath (20) is attached to the housing (22) of the indicator assembly (23), and the other end of the sheath (20) is attached to the block (40). An operating lever (55) is pivotally mounted to frame structure (30) and operatively connected to the block (40) such that pivotal rotation of the operating lever ( 55) in opposite directions effects reciprocation of the block (40) to adjust the effective length of the control cable (18).
