How do you adjust the neutral safety switch on a 1993 buick skylark?

I replaced tranny and need to adjust this switch. right now trany will only start in park, won't start in netural and I can shift out of park with out the key in the ignition.How do you adjust the neutral safety switch on a 1993 buick skylark?You may not need to adjust the switch but the transmission linkage itself. Put the car in neutral with the wheels blocked so it won't roll, on the transmission you will see the switch with the selector shaft going through it and the cable attached to the lever. The nut where the cable attaches is the adjustment, loosen it and allow the linkage to relax. Put the trans shifter against the neutral stop and tighten the nut carefully so you don't move the transmission lever. Now check the adjustment by moving the shift lever in the car to make sure you aren't off by one detent position, if you are go back and do it again. Now start the car with your foot on the brake and see if you got it. If you have it right you will now be able to take it out of park without the key. Next, with the car shut off and in neutral again you can set the neutral safety switch using a small drill bit, when the trans is in neutral the little hole should allow you to insert the drill bit. You just loosen the bolts and turn the switch to adjust it so the bit goes in easily with no force then snug the bolts down and check it out.How do you adjust the neutral safety switch on a 1993 buick skylark?you don't. that is a non adjustable part moron. why do you think it is loose it needs to be replaced
