A/T Shift Lever Installation

A/T Shift Lever Installation

1. Install the shift lever assembly (A).





2. Connect the shift lever 6P connector (B).

3. Install the shift lever 6P connector on the shift lever bracket base (C).

4. Push the shift cable (A) until it stops, then release it. Pull the shift cable back one step from the P position so that the shift position is in R. Do not hold the shift cable guide (B) to adjust the shift cable.






5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode, and check that the R position indicator comes on.





6. Place the shift lever in P, and turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.

7. Place the shift lever in R; the lock pin (A) must be in the position of the arrowed mark (B), then insert a 6.0mm(0.236 in) pin (C) into the positioning hole (D) on the shift lever positioning guide, and into the positioning hole on the shift lever bracket. Use only a 6.0 mm (0.236 in) pin with no burrs.






8. Align the shift cable slot (A) between the socket holder (B) and the socket holder retainer (C) with the opening (D) in the shift cable bracket (E), then slide the holder into the bracket while installing the shift cable end (F) over the mounting stud (G) by aligning its square hole with the square fitting (H) at the bottom of the stud. Do not install the shift cable by holding the shift cable guide (I).

NOTE: When the socket holder is installed in the shift cable bracket, the retainer lock is unhinged and releases the holder retainer lock, then the holder retainer returns under spring force to secure the shift cable.






9. Push the retainer lock (A) fully to lock the socket holder retainer (B), and make sure that the retainer lock fits into the hinged-joint (C). If the retainer lock does not fit with the edge of the hinged-joint, rotate the holder retainer counterclockwise while pushing the retainer lock until it locks.






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





11. If the cable end is out of position on the mounting stud, remove the shift cable from the bracket, and reinstall the shift cable. Do not install the shift cable end on the mounting stud while the shift cable is on the bracket. If the shift cable end rides on the bottom of the mounting stud, rotate the stud and align the square fitting with the hole.

12. Install and tighten the nut (A) on the shift cable end.





13. Remove the 6.0 mm (0.236 in) pin (B) that was installed to hold the shift lever.

14. Install the center console Center Console Removal/Installation.

15. Route the harnesses on the A/T shift panel (A), and install the A/T gear position indicator (B) in the A/T shift panel.






16. Install the A/T shift panel.

17. Install the shift lever knob A/T Shift Lever Knob Replacement.

18. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode. Move the shift lever to each position, and check that the A/T gear position indicator follows the transmission range switch.

19. Shift the shift lever to P, and check that the shift lock works properly. Push the shift lock release, and check that the shift lever releases, and also check that the shift lever locks when it is shifted back to P. If equipped, check that the key does not come out in any other position other than P.
