'94 Olds Cutlass Ciera gear indicator

The gear indicator (park, N, D, etc.) on the dash for our automatic
transmission is slightly misaligned (3.1 engine, '94 Olds Cutlass Ciera).
My GM service manual says 1) Position shift lever in "N" (Neutral) gate
notch. 2) Guide clip on edge of shift bowl to centrally position pointer
on "N" (Neutral). 3) Push clip onto bowl. Care must be taken to assure
that cable rests on bowl, not on column jacket. A sketch shows the steering
column (mine is tiltable) going into another tube called "steering column
shift bowl" -- located just under the dash. It shows a shift indicator
cable clip which apparently clips onto the rim of the "steering column shift
bowl." It implies that unclipping and moving this clip until the gear
indicator is centered on N and then reclipping it back on the "steering
column shift bowl" would solve the problem. My problem is there is no clip
(looking from the top) on the "steering column shift bowl." I looked at my
neighbors Olds and his doesn't have one either. If I start taking away trim
from under the instrument panel and steering column, would I have to disable
the air bag? Can anyone help?? Thanks Gene

follow your steering column down to where it goes into your dash on the
bottom of the dash underneath the column there are plastic panels take
them off now look at the bottom of the column there should be a black
metal clip that is pushed on the column that clip has the indicator cable
attached to it you just need a little adjustment take the clip and tap it
to the left or right use a screwdriver and tap it over (DO NOT BREAK
IT)just a little adjustment is all u need
