The transaxle shift control linkage consists of:

• A shift cable that connects the transaxle range selector lever to the floor shifter assembly.
• A brake shift interlock actuator that is integral to the floor shifter assembly.

The floor shifter assembly:

• Locks the transaxle range selector lever in the PARK position when the ignition switch is in the LOCK position.
• Requires the transaxle range selector lever to be in the PARK position to turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
