## Transmission Range Switch Replacement

1. | Remove the air cleaner housing and intake air duct.

2. | Shift to [N] position.

3. | Disconnect the transmission range switch connector.

4. | Remove the old transmission range switch, and replace the switch with a new one.

5. | Make sure that the control lever (A) is in [N] position. If necessary, move the control lever to [N] position. Do not squeeze the control shaft tips (B) together when shift to [N] position. If the tips are squeezed together will cause a faulty signal or position due to the play between the control shaft and the switch.

6. | Align the cutout (A) on the rotary-frame with the neutral positioning cutouts (B) on the new transmission range switch (C), then put a 2.0 mm (0.08 in.) feeler gauge blade (D) in the cutouts to hold it in the [N] position. Be sure to use a 2.0 mm (0.08 in.) blade or equivalent to hold the switch in [N] position.

7. | Insert the transmission range switch (A) gently on the control shaft (B) with holding the [N] position with the 2.0 mm (0.08 in.) blade (C).

8. | 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.

9. | Remove the feeler gauge (A), then install the rotary frame cover (B).

10. | Connect the transmission range switch connector.

11. | Turn the ignition switch ON (II). Move the shift lever through all gear positions, and check the transmission range switch synchronization with the A/T gear position indicator.

12. | Check that the engine can start in [P] and [N] positions, and cannot start in any other shift lever position.

13. | Check that the back-up lights come on when the shift lever is in [R] position.

14. | Allow the wheels to rotate freely, then start the engine, and check the shift lever operation.

15. | Install the air cleaner housing and intake air duct.
