AJ27/3.2L NA V8 - AJ26 - External Controls
Description and Operation
Introduction
Driver gearshift control is effected by:
The gear shift lever. The accelerator pedal position. The kickdown switch (where fitted). The performance mode pushbutton.
Driver's Selector Module ('J' Gate)
The gear selector lever:
Has seven positions: Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, Fourth, Third and Second. Operates the transmission selector shaft and rotary switch, in all positions (except Drive-to-fourth) by means of a
Bowden cable.
Passes driver gearshift requests to the transm ission control module via the rotary switch.

General Procedures
1. Disconnect battery ground cable.
Remove the battery cover.
2. Remove the J-gate surround, Section 501-05.
3. Remove the console finisher ve neer panel, Section 501-12.
4. Remove the interlock soleno id actuating lever cover.
5. Move the shift lever to N.
Operate the gearshift interlock latch manually to release
the selector lever from P .
6. NOTE: Assistance from anot her person is required.
Adjust the gearshift interlock solenoid. 1. Slacken the solenoid fixings.
2. Hold the selector lever midway between P and R .
3. Move the solenoid rearwards, against spring pressure, to take up the free play.
4. Tighten the soleno id securing nuts.
5. Ensure that the interloc k actuating lever has no free
play with the selector lever midway between P and
