Removal Procedure
- Apply the parking brake.
- Shift the transmission into neutral.
- Rase the vehicle. Refer to
Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle
in General Information.
- Remove the nut securing
the transmission control lever to the manual shaft.
- Remove the transmission control lever from the manual shaft.
Important: Because of the park neutral position switch lead connector breaking
when disconnected, disconnect the harness connector at a point near the vehicle
harness, not at the park neutral position switch lead.
- Disconnect the wiring harness connector at the wiring harness.
- Remove two bolts securing the park/neutral position switch to
the transmission.
- Remove the park/neutral position switch from the manual shaft.
Installation Procedure
- If the park/neutral position
switch did not slide off the manual shaft, file the outer edge of the manual
shaft in order to remove any burrs.
- Install the switch to the transmission manual shaft by aligning
the switch hub flats with the manual shaft flats.
- Slide the switch onto the transmission manual shaft until the
switch mounting bracket contacts the mounting bosses on the transmission.
- Install the switch to the transmission with two bolts.
Do not tighten the bolts.
- Position the tool J 41364-a
onto the park/neutral position switch. Ensure that the two slots on the switch
where the manual shaft is inserted are lined up with the lower two tabs
on the tool.
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.
- Rotate the tool
until the upper locator pin on the tool is lined up with the slot on the top
of the switch.
