Shift Assembly
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Dodge Sprinter. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Shift Lever Selector transmits all selector lever positions, as well as selected shift ranges to the TCM over the CAN Bus. At the same time, the selector lever positions P, R, N, and D are transmitted by a cable to the selector lever shaft in the transmission.
