Shift Interlock: Adjustments

ADJUSTMENTS - BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK
Correct cable adjustment is important to proper interlock operation. The gearshift cable must be correctly adjusted in order to shift out of PARK.

ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
1. Remove the steering column trim as necessary for access to the brake transmission shift interlock.
2. Shift the transmission into the PARK position.





3. Pull upward on both the BTSI lock tab and the gearshift cable lock tab (Fig. 158).
4. Verify that the shift lever is in the PARK position.
5. Verify positive engagement of the transmission park lock by attempting to rotate the propeller shaft. The shaft will not rotate when the park lock is engaged.
6. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Be sure ignition key cylinder is in the LOCK position. Cable will not adjust correctly in any other position.
7. Ensure that the cable is free to self-adjust by pushing cable rearward and releasing.
8. Push the gearshift cable lock tab down until it snaps in place.
9. Locate the BTSI alignment hole in the bottom of the BTSI mechanism between the BTSI lock tab and the BTSI connector.
10. Move the BTSI assembly up or down on the gearshift cable until an appropriate size drill bit can be inserted into the alignment hole and through the assembly.
11. Push the BTSI lock tab down until it snaps into place and remove the drill bit.
12. Install any steering column trim previously removed.
