AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (4 A/T) 7B-59
INSTALLATION
1) Using flat tip screwdriver, turn transmission range sensor to
have the match marks (1) line up (transmission range sensor
“N” range).
2) Turn selector lever (1) to “N” range (to have the automatic
transmission to “N” range).
3) Install transmission range sensor (1) to transmission case.
Tightening torque
Transmission range sensor bolt
(a) : 18 N·m (1.8 kg-m, 13.0 lb-ft)
4) Move selector lever in cabin to each range and check the
continuity of each terminal of transmission range sensor
referring to “INSPECTION”.
5) Connect transmission range sensor coupler.
6) Check that the engine can only be started in “N” and “P”
range, but can not in “D”, “2”, “L” or “R” range. Also, check
that backup lamp come ON at “R” range.

SELECTOR CABLE
REMOVAL
1) Remove parking brake lever cover.
2) Remove console box.
3) Disconnect selector cable from selector lever and then
detach from bracket.
4) Remove clip and disconnect selector cable from transmis-
sion.
5) Remove selector housing from dash panel.
INSTALLATION
Install selector cable by reversing removal procedure.
The important steps in installation are as follows.
Apply grease to pin and cable joint.
Tighten bolts and nut in upper figure to specified torque.
Adjusting procedure is as follows.

ADJUSTMENT
1) Turn transmission range sensor to have the match marks (1)
line up (transmission range sensor “N” range).
2) Remove adjuster (cable end) from selector pin.
3) Release lock plate (1) which restrict moving of cable end
holder (2).
4) Push cable end holder (1) out from eye-end (2) using an
appropriate tool (3) to disengage cable.
5) Shift selector lever to “N” position.
6) Apply grease to selector pin and install adjuster (cable end)
to it.
Grease : 99000-25010
7) With both selector lever and transmission range sensor kept
each “N” position, drive cable end holder (1) in until it locks
cable.
8) Slide lock plate (2) to secure cable end holder in position.
9) After selector rod was installed, check for the following.
Push vehicle with selector lever shifted to “P” range.
Vehicle should not move.
Vehicle can not be driven in “N” range.
Vehicle can be driven in “D”, “2” and “L” ranges.
Vehicle can be backed in “R” range.
