Transmission Floor Shift ASSY (ATM): Adjustment

1. When shifting from the P to R position only with the ignition switch on (IG) and brake pedal depressed, make sure that the shift lever moves smoothly and moves correctly into position.
2. Start the engine and make sure that the vehicle moves forward when shifting from the N to D position and moves rearward when shifting to the R position.

If operation cannot be done as specified, inspect the park/neutral position switch assy and check the shift lever assy installation condition.
