The 1997 Ford Taurus shifting cable has adjustment swivel nuts on each end of the cable. You can turn the swivel nuts to lengthen or shorten the shifting cable.
it is most likely a self adjusting cable. if you look near the clutch itself, it there are two nuts on the cable, then you can adjust it there. if there is a black cylcinder at the clutch side of the cable then this is self adjusting.

Temperature controls are no longer cable controlled - a small electric "actuator" module does the adjusting. In some ways, it's an easier fix...And I understand the actuator module is only about $20See "Related Questions" below for more on diagnosing / trouble-shooting temperature control problems.
Parking Brake Cable
It's attached to the throttle body.
your e brake cable needs adjusting.
Either by adjusting the cable at the "Y" un front of the rear end or adjusting the rear brakes helps sometimes.
