TRANSMISSION RANGE SWITCH AND CONTROL CABLE ADJUSTMENT
1. Move the selector lever to the "N" range.
2. Loosen the adjusting nut so that the manual control lever moves freely.
3. Move the manual control lever to Neutral position.
4. Loosen the transmission range switch body mounting bolt, and turn the transmission range switch body so that the hole in the transmission range switch body flange aligns with the hole on the end of the manual control lever (section A - A on in the figure shown left).
NOTE: Insert a diameter 5 mm (0.2 inch) bar into the aligned holes in the transmission range switch body flange and on the tip of the manual control lever to position the transmission range switch body.
CAUTION:
Be careful that the transmission range switch body does not move out of the position.
5. Tighten the transmission range switch body mounting bolts to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 5.5 ± 1.0 Nm (49 ± 9 in-lb)
6. Use the adjusting nut to tighten the transmission control cable to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 9.5 ± 3.5 Nm (84 ± 31 in-lb)
7. Make sure that the selector lever is in the "N" range.
8. Make sure that the transmission-side ranges that are corresponding to the transmission range operate and function without fail.

- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
