  4. Loosen the park/neutral position switch body mounting bolts and turn the park/neutral position switch body so the hole in the end of the manual control lever and the hole (cross section A - A in the figure on the left) in the flange of the park/neutral position switch body flange are aligned.
    NOTE: The width of the end of the manual control lever and the flange on the body of the park/neutral position switch are the same, and so the park/neutral position switch can be positioned by hand.

    In addition, the park/neutral position switch can be positioned by inserting a bar with a diameter of 5 mm into the hole at the end of the manual control lever and the hole in the flange of the park/neutral position switch body.
