The transaxle shift control linkage consists of:

• A steering column or floor-mounted transaxle range selector lever.
• A shift cable connecting the steering column to the transaxle range selector lever.
• An ignition/shifter interlock cable on floor shift vehicles which connects the transaxle range selector lever to the steering column lock assembly.
• An ignition/shift interlock actuator that is integral to the ignition/shift interlock cable.

  The ignition/shifter interlock cable:

• Locks the transaxle range selector lever in the PARK position when the ignition switch is in the LOCK position.
• Requires the transaxle range selector lever to be in the PARK position to turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
