NOTE:

Disconnect the actuator rod (3) from the detent lever assembly. Do not remove the actuator rod from the transmission case.
Do not pull the park actuator rod end out beyond the machined oil passage surface in the case. A no park condition will exist if the park pawl actuator assembly is pulled out of the transmission too far and the actuator rod disengages from the park pawl. The transmission assembly will require disassembly to reinstall the actuator rod over the park pawl.
