Tools Required

J 41364-A Park/Neutral Switch Aligner

Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.

1. Make sure the manual shift shaft is in the Neutral (N) position as follows:

•	Place a wrench on the manual shift shaft flats and rotate the shaft to the furthest clockwise position.

•	Rotate the manual shift shaft counter-clockwise 2 detents.




2. Ensure that J 41364-A  (2) is in the proper position on the Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch (1).
3. While maintaining the correct PNP switch alignment, slide the new PNP switch (1) over the manual shift shaft.

Notice: Refer to Component Fastener Tightening Notice in the Preface section.

4. While holding J 41364-A in engagement with the PNP switch, install the 2 bolts so that the PNP switch may be rotated with some effort.

Tighten
Tighten the 2 bolts to 27 N·m (20 lb ft).

5. Remove J 41364-A .



6. Install the splash shield (1), concave side toward the PNP switch (3), over the manual shift shaft (2).




Notice: 

•	DO NOT drive the selector lever onto the manual shift shaft.

•	DO NOT use an impact wrench in order to tighten the selector lever nut. Hold the lever with a wrench while tightening the nut.

•	Failure to follow these instructions may result in transmission damage.

7. Install shift lever (2), and then install the nut (3), by hand, onto the end of the manual shift shaft (4). Use a wrench (1) to keep the shift lever from rotating.

Tighten
Tighten nut (3) to 24 N·m (18 lb ft).
