Shift Control Linkage Rod

  1. Position the shift lever in Park. Raise and support the vehicle. Loosen the adjustment bolt (1) to allow the adjuster to slide freely. See Fig 1 .
  2. Hold the selector lever on transmission against the rear stop to eliminate any play. Tighten the shift control linkage adjustment bolt to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  . Lower the vehicle.
  3. Inspect the operation of starting system with shift lever in each position. The engine should only crank when the lever is in Park or Neutral position.
