I assure you there is one if it is indeed a 97 with a 5.2L. There should be a white tab that wraps around it that you push down or pull up to release it. They changed them from year to year so I don't remember exactly what each year had.

A little.

This is Jack's son by the way. I have the cherokee for a project and i might need a little help along the way. I know who to ask now.

Ferm,

Okay, now I see what you are talking about but it looks like it's not an adjustment issue. It seems that the cable is binding up. I took a quick look underneath last night but coldn't really see where the cable connects to the tranny. The car has been sitting for quite a while so maybe just working it some will loosen it up.

Not a bad looking vehicle:



Aside from that it needs brakes (those composite rotors do some weird things):



and while the exhaust isn't leaking yet it is on its last legs.




Anything else to look out for on this year/model?

Those rotors should be covered under the recall. The kickdown cable will hook up on the drivers side at the tranny right next to the shift linkage.
