Shift Lever Installation

Shift Lever Installation
1. Install the shift lever assembly (A) by aligning the positioning holes (B) with the tips (C) on the console panel.





2. Loosely install the mounting bolt (D) on the left front of the shift lever, then install and tighten the mounting bolt (E) on the left rear to 22 N-m (2.2 kgf-m, 16 lbf-ft).
3. Install and tighten the mounting bolts (F) on the right side, and tighten the bolt (D) to 22 N-m (2.2 kgf-m, 16 lbf-ft).
4. Connect the shift lock solenoid connector (G), the transmission gear selection switch/park pin switch connector (H), and the sensor cluster connector (I).
5. Install the harness clamps (J) on the shift lever bracket base.
6. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and verify that the R position indicator comes on.
7. If necessary, push the shift cable until it stops, then release it. Pull the shift cable back one step so that the shift position is in R. Do not hold the shift cable guide (A) and damper (B) to adjust the shift cable (C).





8. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
9. Place the shift lever in the R position, then insert a 6.0 mm (0.24 in.) pin (A) through the positioning hole (B) on the shift lever bracket base, through the positioning hole (C) on the shift lever, and into the positioning hole (D) on the shift lever bracket base. The shift lever is secured in then position.





10. Align the socket holder (A) on the shift cable (B) with the slot in the bracket base (C), then slide the holder into the base. Install the shift cable end (D) over the mounting stud (E) by aligning its square hole (F) with the square fitting (G) at the bottom of the stud. Push the holder until it snaps securely in place. Do not install the shift cable by holding the shift cable guide (H) and damper (I).





11. Verify that the shift cable end (A) is properly installed on the mounting stud (B).





12. If 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 bracket base.
13. Install and tighten the nut.





14. Remove the 6.0 mm (0.24 in.) pin that was installed to hold the shift lever.
15. Move the shift lever to each position, and verify that the A/T gear position indicator follows the transmission range switch.
16. Push the shift lock release, and verify that the shift lever releases.
17. Reinstall the center console cover.
