INSTALLATION

Torque:

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

NOTICE:

Tighten them in the order, A, B, C and D.

Connect the socket of the transmission control cable assembly to the shift lever assembly.

NOTICE:

Make sure that the transmission control cable assembly (socket) is firmly secured to the shift lever assembly.

NOTICE:

1. Install the transmission control cable assembly with the graduated cuts to face upward to prevent torsion of the inner cable.
   
2. Push the cable end to the bottom of the pin.
   
3. Confirm that the connection between the socket and the shift lock control unit is fixed.
   

Install the 2 clips and the floor carpet cover center LH.

Install the 2 bolts <A>, the 2 screws <C>, and the glove compartment door assembly.

Engage the 3 claws and install the instrument panel No.2 under cover sub-assembly.

Engage the 5 claws and the 4 clips.

Connect the hood lock control cable assembly.

Install the bolt <A>, the screw <C>, and the instrument panel finish panel sub-assembly lower.

Engage the 4 claws and 2 clips, and install the rear door scuff plate.

Engage the 2 clips and install the instrument panel finish panel lower.

Apply the parking brake.

Lock the wheels with chocks to secure the vehicle.

Put the vehicle into the READY-on state.

Move the shift lever to the D position and release the brake pedal.

NOTICE:

Be sure to apply the parking brake and lock the wheels with chocks to secure the vehicle.

Slowly move the shift lever to the N position and measure moving distance (A) of the shift lever from the original point to the gear activation point.

NOTICE:

Be sure to move the shift lever slowly.

Move the shift lever to the R position and release the brake pedal.

NOTICE:

Be sure to apply the parking brake and lock the wheels with chocks to secure the vehicle.

Slowly move the shift lever to the N position and measure moving distance (B) of the shift lever from the original point to the vehicle activation point.

NOTICE:

Be sure to move the shift lever slowly.

Check that moving distances (A) and (B) shown in the illustration are almost the same.

HINT:

1. If moving distances (A) and (B) are almost the same, adjustment of the shift lever position is not necessary.
   
2. If moving distance (A) is shorter than (B), perform adjustment of the shift lever position [*1].
   
3. If moving distance (B) is shorter than (A), perform adjustment of the shift lever position [*2].
   

If moving distance (A) is shorter than (B) [*1]:

HINT:

If the shift lever is moved from the R to N position, the moving distance of the shift lever from the original point to the gear activation point becomes longer.

1. Move the shift lever to the N position.
   

2. Loosen the 2 bolts.
   

3. Slightly turn the park/neutral position switch counterclockwise.
   

4. Tighten the 2 bolts in the order shown in the illustration.
   

   Torque:

   13 N*m{ 133 kgf*cm , 10 ft.*lbf }

5. Recheck the shift lever position.
   

If moving distance (B) is shorter than (A) [*2]:

HINT:

If the shift lever is moved from the D to N position, the moving distance of the shift lever from the original point to the gear activation point becomes longer.

1. Move the shift lever to the N position.
   

2. Loosen the 2 bolts.
   

3. Slightly turn the park/neutral position switch clockwise.
   

4. Tighten the 2 bolts in the order shown in the illustration.
   

   Torque:

   13 N*m{ 133 kgf*cm , 10 ft.*lbf }

5. Recheck the shift lever position.
   

While moving the shift lever from the N position to each position, check that the lever moves smoothly and that the shift position indicator comes on properly according to the shift lever position.

Put the vehicle into the READY-on state and check the following:

1. When the shift lever is moved to the D position, the vehicle moves forward.
   

2. When the shift lever is moved to the R position, the buzzer sounds and the vehicle moves in reverse.
   

   NOTICE:

   The vehicle should not move when the shift position indicator is off.
