Is there a procedure for properly adjusting the shift motor? I'm referring to the three security torx screws that are in slotted holes that allow the sensor to move.

Thanks all!
 






The best way probably would be to rotate the gear inside the motor so it's against it's stop at the 2WD position, and then align the sensor cap so that the contacts are directly over the corresponding spot on the sensor disc for 2WD. I've never actually done this though so I can't tell you if the contact's position remains easy to see while assembling it or not.

Hope that helps
