When I changed over to a Focus shift tower I noticed that there is some allowable movement in the cable clamps, probably about an inch. Is this where they are adjusted or are they adjusted at the shifter?

Mine still aren't right since I switched to the '02 Focus shift tower and I haven't bothered to take it to Ford. Does anyone know another way?
