SHIFT LEVER INSTALLATION

Tech Tips


  • Use the same procedure for RHD and LHD vehicles.

  • The procedure listed below is for LHD vehicles.


  1. INSTALL SHIFT LEVER ASSEMBLY

    Note

    Check that the park/neutral position switch and shift lever are in neutral.


    1. Install the shift lever assembly with the 4 nuts.

      Torque:
      12 N*m  { 122 kgf*cm, 9 ft.*lbf }

    2. Connect the 2 connectors and attach the 2 clamps to connect the wire harness to the shift lever.

  2. CONNECT TRANSMISSION CONTROL CABLE ASSEMBLY


    1. Turn the nut of the transmission control cable assembly 180° counterclockwise. While holding the nut in place, push in the stopper until it clicks twice.

      Note

      Securely push in the lock piece until it locks.

  3. INSPECT SHIFT LEVER POSITION


    1. When moving the shift lever from P to R with the ignition switch ON and the brake pedal depressed, make sure that it moves smoothly and correctly into position.

    2. Check that the shift lever does not stop when moving the shift lever from R to P, and check that the shift lever does not stick when moving the shift lever from D to M.

    3. Start the engine and make sure that the vehicle moves forward after moving the shift lever from N to D and moves in reverse after moving the shift lever to R.

      If the operation cannot be performed as specified, inspect the park/neutral position switch assembly and check the shift lever assembly installation condition.

  4. ADJUST SHIFT LEVER POSITION


    1. Apply the parking brake and move the shift lever to N.

      Pull out the stopper of the transmission control cable assembly.

      Note

      Do not remove the stopper. If the stopper is removed, reinstall it to its original position.

    4. Rotate the nut counterclockwise approximately 180° and, while holding the nut in that position, disconnect the transmission control cable assembly from the shift lever assembly.

      Note

      Do not over-rotate the nut as it will come off the internal spring and the transmission control cable assembly will not be reusable.
