CAUTION: Refer to Fastener Caution .

NOTE: When installing the transmission control main shaft bolt, the face of the bolt must be held in the slot of the mounting bracket as the nut is torqued to ensure it remains seated and doesn't rotate out of the slot. Failure to perform this task can result in a loose shifter feel, squeaks & rattles or excessive cross car lash resulting in a customer's poor perceived quality of the system.
