Shift Indicator

How is the shift indicator lit on a tilt column. Does it use the same fiber optic setup that is on the non tilt column. Mine doesn't look like there is any way for it to be lit.

There is a bulb under the PRNDLL. Just take the 2 screws out that hold it on the column and you'll find it underneath.

The shift indicator is supposed to be light up? I would be happy if it just pointed right. Anyone know how to adjust it?

Talking

Does your detent lock in when you put the shifter into park?

The only adjustable part of the column that you have is the linkage outside the fire wall.

Jim, it does lock in. I just replaced the stock linkage with a Kugel linkage setup. But the pointer is still off. When its in Park, it pointing way past the P.
