If your motor is cutting out, Stalling, when you shift Into gear,....
Your Lower Shift Cable is Junk,+ needs to be Replaced......

There`s no real service adjustment. the arm should be straight and the roller centered in the notch.
If it`s activating and stalling the motor when you shift into or out of gear it means the shift cable is bad or it`s way way out of adjustment.

Start the engine, and manually activate the shift interrupt switch, does the engine stop?
