SHIFT CONTROL SYSTEM
Revision: June 20062007 Versa
Checking of CVT PositionUCS0064K
1. Place selector lever in “P” position, and turn ignition switch ON. (Do not start engine.)
2. Make sure selector lever can be shifted to other than “P” position when brake pedal is depressed. Also
make sure selector lever can be shifted from “P” position only when brake pedal is depressed.
3. Move the selector lever and check for excessive effort, sticking, noise or rattle.
4. Confirm the selector lever stops at each position with the feel of engagement when it is moved through all
the positions. Check that the actual position of the selector lever matches the position shown by the shift
position indicator and the manual lever on the transaxle.
5. The method of operating the selector lever to individual posi-
tions correctly should be as shown.
(A): Press selector button to operate selector lever, while
depressing the brake pedal.
(B): Press selector button to operate selector lever.
(C): Selector lever can be operated without pressing selector
button.
6. Confirm the back-up lamps illuminate only when selector lever is
placed in the “R” position. Confirm the back-up lamps do not illu-
minate when the selector lever is pushed toward the “R” position
side with the gear position remained in the “P” or “N” position.
7. Confirm the engine can only be started with the selector lever in the “P” and “N” positions.
8. Make sure transaxle is locked completely in “P” position.

Any necessary brackets
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
When replacing an engine or transmission you must make sure any dowels are installed correctly
during re-assembly.
Improper alignment caused by missing dowels may cause vibration, oil leaks or breakage of drive
train components.
Do not reuse O-rings and copper washers.
When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from the front of the engine.
When tightening the nuts for the torque converter while securing the crankshaft pulley bolt, be
sure to confirm the tightening torque of the crankshaft pulley bolt. Refer to EM-37, "
TIMING
CHAIN" .
After converter is installed to drive plate, rotate crankshaft several turns to check that transaxle
