Tools Required

J 45404 Transmission Indicator Alignment Tool

1. Install the park/neutral position switch (75) to the manual shift detent lever assembly.
2. Install the park/neutral position switch stud (76), bolt (79), and flat washers (69) and hand tighten until tight enough to hold the park/neutral position switch in place, but still loose enough to allow adjustment by hand.




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.
