Shift Control Linkage Adjustment
1. Position the shift lever in PARK.
2. Raise and support the vehicle.
3. Loosen the shift control linkage adjustment nut (3) and allow the linkage to slide freely.
Notice:
4. Hold the selector lever on the transmission against the rear stop in the PARK position to eliminate any play.
^
Tighten the shift control linkage adjustment nut to 9 Nm (80 inch lbs.).
5. Lower the vehicle.
6. Inspect the operation of the starting system with the shift lever in each position. The engine should only crank when the lever is in the PARK or
NEUTRAL position.
7. Ensure that the shifter detents align with the gear indicators.
8. Return to the PARK position and check for proper engagement. PARK position should feel solid and not spongy. The shift lever should not be
bottomed out on the stop bumper when engaging the PARK position. Readjust and retest if necessary.
9. With the ignition on and the engine not running, ensure a smooth transition from position D to tap mode and back. Ensure that the odometer
changes to the gear indicator mode. If the odometer does not change to gear indicator mode, or any binding or rough spots are felt, repeat the
linkage adjustment procedure and retest the system.
