i am having what i believe to be a very common problem with my gear indicator on my dash. i am planning to take the dash apart tomorrow in order to put in an aftermarket guage bezel, and i figured i'd try to correct the problem then, which is the orange indicator is no longer siting on the correct gear. i remember some threads here on the topic suggested adjusting a knob on a cable going to the indicator, and was wondering if anyone could give me some advice or perhaps a link to a how to or thread containing how to info. thanks for the help. :D :D

the adjuster is the thing with the thin red cable coming out of it. there is a black wheel with teeth on it that you turn to adjust where the needle is supposed to be.

i think you can change the white bracket without tearing everything apart. i've heard of another guy doing it.
