  1. 1.

    Prior to replacing the selector lever assembly for a no start or a high shift effort concern, verify the selector lever cable-to-bracket clips are fully seated at the transmission and selector lever assembly. An unseated cable can cause selector lever cable binding and prevent the manual shaft from completely returning to the P position.
