How to fit a auto selector cable properly?

[CAV-BAZZA]

Hello guys well recently I did my selector switch and ended up messing my cable up as I was inpatient and was tugging and pulling and bending trying to get the right gears, so now I want to know how to do it properly when I get a new one my idea is to turn it to 3rd gear direct from the switch then connect the cable to the gear stick as it's selected on 3rd there to, and reconnect the end on the cable on to the switch so it will be right gear on stick and switch and it will be ajusted so it can move down to the 3rd gear to

Is this right or has anyone got better ideas
