By pressing plus (+) on the toggle switch once will shift the transmission to next highest gear. Pressing the minus (-) on the toggle switch will shift the transmission to next lowest gear.

The SelectShift ™ switch is not serviceable. If a new switch is required, install a new selector lever knob. Refer to Selector Lever Knob .
