Installation Procedure
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners
must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant
are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
- Install the linear shift assembly to the steering column.
Tighten
Tighten the shift assembly screws to 3.5 N·m (31 lb in).

- Verify the replacement by performing the following test:
6.1. | Inspect the cable routing for clearance with the brake switches. |
6.2. | Move the shift lever from PARK to REVERSE and back to the PARK
position and turn the ignition key to the OFF position. |
6.3. | Verify that the shift lever cannot be removed from PARK when the
ignition key is in the OFF position. |
6.4. | Turn the ignition key to the ON position and verify that the shift
lever can be removed from PARK. |
6.5. | Return the shift lever to the PARK position and verify that the
ignition key can be turned to the OFF position and removed without difficulty.
If you can remove the key easily, you have completed the verification. If
the key cannot be removed or requires high effort, continue with the verification
test. |
