Gearshift Lever Assembly: Installation
- Install the gearshift lever assembly.
- Turn the ignition switch ON, and verify that the "R" position indicator comes on. See Fig 1.
- If necessary, push the shift cable until it stops, then pull the shift cable back one step so that the transaxle shift position is in "R" position. See Fig 2.
- Turn the ignition off.
- Insert a .24" (6.0 mm) pin (A) into the positioning hole (B) on the bracket base through the positioning hole on the gearshift lever. See Fig 3.
- Rotate the socket holder (A) on the shift cable (B) counterclockwise a quarter turn, then slide the holder onto the bracket base (C). Install the shift cable end (D) over the mounting stud (E) by aligning its square hole (F) with the square shape (G) at the bottom of the stud. See Fig 4. Rotate the holder clockwise a quarter turn to secure the shift cable.
- Verify that the shift cable end (A) is properly installed on the mounting stud (B). Cable end rides on the bottom of the mounting stud. See Fig 5.
- If cable is improperly installed, remove the shift cable from the bracket base, and reinstall the shift cable. Do not install the shift cable end on the mounting stud while the shift cable is on the shift cable bracket base.
- Install and tighten the nut. See Figure.
- Remove the .24" (6.0 mm) pin that was installed to hold the gearshift lever.
- Connect the shift lock solenoid connector and the A/T shift switch assembly connector (6 pin). See Figure and Figure .
- Move the gearshift lever to each gear position and verify that the A/T gear position indicator follows the transaxle range switch.
- Push the shift lock release, and verify that the gearshift lever releases.
- Reinstall the center console, console panel, and related parts. See CENTER CONSOLE .
NOTE:
Do not install the shift cable by twisting the cable guide (H). See Fig 4.
