In this next pic, You can see the actual "splines/threads" (they are not threads)
This is a male/female deal. The plastic piece attached to the shifter is "female" and the cable end is "male".
You can unsnap the cable end and cheat it forwards or backwards on those splines.
What JFP was explaining is a factory tool that we snap down into place to hold the shifter in a "neutral" position, and while the trans is in neutral, you can drop the cables into these plastic male/female receivers.
I like to "cheat" the shifter one way or the other from what the factory "suggests" by using their tool (I cheat them towards the driver so 4th-5th is easier to hit with the 5 speeds, and so 5th gear is not up under the dash on the passenger side)
