- Disconnect the external wiring harness from the PNP switch (5). See Fig 1 .
- Disconnect the shift linkage/cable from the shift lever at the transmission.
- Use a wrench (1) to keep the shift lever (2) from rotating. Remove the nut (3) from the end of the selector shaft (4). Carefully remove the shift lever (2) from the selector shaft (4).
- Loosen the 2 bolts (6) so PNP switch may be rotated with slight effort.

Rotate the PNP switch (2) until the single tab (1) at the other end of the tool engages the single slot at the top of the PNP switch.
- Hold the tool in engagement with the PNP switch to maintain alignment of the PNP switch with the selector shaft. Tighten the 2 bolts (4) to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
- Re-install the splash shield.CAUTION: DO NOT drive the selector lever onto the selector shaft. DO NOT use an impact wrench in order to tighten the selector lever nut. Hold the lever with a wrench while tightening the nut. Failure to follow these instructions may result in transmission damage.
- Reinstall shift lever (2). Install nut (3), by hand, on the end of selector shaft (4). Use a wrench (1) to keep the shift lever from rotating. See Fig 1 . Tighten nut (3) to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
