Transmission Does Not Shift Into P




Transmission does not shift into P

Diagnostic Procedure:

1. Shift cable broken or out of adjustment

2. Connection between shift cable and transmission or body is worn

3. Park mechanism defective

Also check for:

- Check for a loose shift cable at the shift lever and the selector control lever.
- Check the park pawl spring installation and the park lever spring installation. If installation is incorrect, install the spring correctly. Make sure that the park lever stop is not installed upside down. Check the distance between the park pawl shaft and the park lever pin. If the distance is out of tolerance, adjust the distance with the park lever stop.
