Service Procedure

SERVICE PROCEDURE - Figure may be useful in performing the procedure below.

1. Inspect transmission fluid for signs of excessive heat (burnt smell and/or color changed to brown).

3. Loosen bolt which clamps shift rod to shift lever at side of transmission under vehicle.

4. Hang or attach a 3 pound weight on shift lever at steering column to bias linkage toward the "0D" (overdrive) position (see figure).

Notice:
Kent-Moore tool number J8092, driver handle, weighs approximately 3 pounds, and may be a possible choice.

5. Verify transmission is still in "Neutral" position.

6. Re-tighten bolt to 28 N-m (21 lb.ft.).

7. Remove weight and verify shift linkage and steering column range selector for proper operation and selection.

8. Install Campaign Identification Label.
