Inspection and Adjustment

INFOID:0000000001724660

INSPECTION

With the selector lever in the “P” position, turn the ignition switch to the ON position with the engine OFF.
Confirm that the following conditions apply.
• The selector lever can be shifted from the “P” position only when the brake pedal is depressed.
• The selector lever stops at each position with the feel of engagement when it is moved through all the posi-

tions.

• There is no excessive effort, sticking, noise or rattle.
• The actual position of the selector lever matches the position shown by the shift position indicator and the A/

T body.

• The back-up lamps illuminate only when the selector lever is placed in the “R” position.
• The back-up lamps do not illuminate when the selector lever is pushed against the “R” position when in the

“P” or “N” position. 

• The engine can only be started with the selector lever in the “P” and “N” positions.
• The A/T is locked completely when in the “P” position.

ADJUSTMENT

1.

Loosen nut of control cable.

2.

Place the manual lever and selector lever in “P” position.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

Removal

1.

Drain A/T fluid. Refer to 

TM-182, "Changing the A/T Fluid (ATF)"

.

2.

Remove oil pan clips (1).

3.

Remove oil pan (2).

4.

Remove oil pan gasket.
•

 Vehicle front

•

 Oil pan bolts

• Drain plug (3)

5.

Check for foreign materials in oil pan to help determine cause of malfunction. If the A/T fluid is very dark,
has some burned smell, or contains foreign particles then friction material (clutches, band) may need
replacement. A tacky film that will not wipe clean indicates varnish build up. Varnish can cause valves,
servo, and clutches to stick and can inhibit pump pressure.

CAUTION:

If friction material is detected, flush the transmission cooler after repair. Refer to 

TM-183, "A/T

Fluid Cooler Cleaning"

.

6.

Remove magnets from oil pan.

Installation

1.

Install the oil pan magnets as shown.
