6. REMOVE PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY

(a) Disconnect the park/neutral position switch assembly connector.

(b) Remove the nut, washer and transmission control shaft lever from the manual valve lever shaft sub-assembly.

(c) Remove the 2 bolts and park/neutral position switch assembly from the automatic transaxle case sub-assembly.

NOTICE:

Before removing the park/neutral position switch assembly, remove any dirt or rust on the installation portion of the manual valve lever shaft sub-assembly. Be sure to remove the park/neutral position switch assembly straight along the manual valve lever shaft sub-assembly while being careful not to deform the plate spring that supports the manual valve lever shaft sub-assembly. If the plate spring is deformed, the park/neutral position switch assembly cannot be reinstalled correctly.
