  4. Remove the transmission range switch (C).
  5. Make sure the selector control shaft is in the N position. If necessary, move the shift lever from P to N.
    NOTE: Do not use the selector control shaft to adjust the shift position. If the selector control shaft tips are squeezed together it will cause a faulty signal or position due to play between the selector control shaft and the transmission range switch.

  6. Set a new transmission range switch (A) to the N position, align the cutouts (B) on the rotary-frame with the neutral positioning cutouts (C) on the transmission range switch. Then put a 2.0 mm (0.079 in) feeler gauge blade (D) in the cutouts to hold the transmission range switch in the N position.
    NOTE: Be sure to use a 2.0 mm (0.079 in) feeler gauge blade or equivalent to hold the transmission range switch in the N position.

  11. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II). Move the shift lever through all positions, and check the transmission range switch synchronization with the A/T gear position indicator.
  12. Check that the engine will start with the shift lever in P and N, and will not start in any other shift lever position.
  13. Check that the back-up lights come on when the shift lever is in R.
  14. Raise the vehicle on a lift, or apply the parking brake, block the rear wheels, and raise the front of the vehicle. Make sure it is securely supported, and allow the front wheels to rotate freely.
  15. Start the engine, and check the shift lever operation.
