| 1. | Raise the vehicle, and make sure it is securely supported. |
| 2. | Shift to the [N] position. |
| 3. | Remove the transmission range switch cover. |
| 4. | Disconnect the transmission range switch connector. |
| 5. | Remove the transmission range switch, and replace the new switch. |
| 6. | Make sure the control shaft is in the [N] position. If necessary, move the shift lever to the [N] position. NOTE: Do not use the control shaft to adjust the shift position. If the control shaft tips are squeezed together it will cause a faulty signal or position due to play between the control shaft and the switch. |
| 7. | Align the cutouts (A) on the rotary-frame with the neutral positioning cutouts (B) on the transmission range switch (C), then put a 2.0 mm (0.08 in.) feeler gauge blade (D) in the cutouts to hold the switch in the [N] position. NOTE: Be sure to use a 2.0 mm (0.08 in.) blade or equivalent to hold the switch in the [N] position. |
| 8. | Install the transmission range switch (A) gently on the control shaft (B) with holding it in the [N] position with the 2.0 mm (0.08 in.) blade (C). |
| 9. | Tighten the bolts on the transmission range switch while you continue to hold the [N] position. Do not move the transmission range switch when tightening the bolts. Remove the feeler gauge. |
| 10. | Connect the connector securely, then install the transmission range switch cover (A). |
| 11. | Turn the ignition switch ON (II). Move the shift lever through all positions, and check the transmission range switch synchronization with the A/T gear position indicator. |
| 12. | Check that the engine will start in the [P] and [N] positions, and will not start in any other shift lever position. |
| 13. | Check that the back-up lights come on when the shift lever is in the [R] position. |
| 14. | Allow the front wheels to rotate freely, then start the engine, and check the shift lever operation. |
