• Q: How to service and repair the Neutral Safety Switch for the 6T40/6T45 automatic transmission on 2009 Chevrolet Malibu?

  A: Begin transmission position switch/sensor/for-6t40/6t45 automatic transmission repair by processing the control Valve Body removal. Start by using the dt-48550 (Detent Lever Pin Remover) to remove the manual shaft detent lever hub pin . Next follow with the removal of the manual shift shaft pin which is disposable. Separate the manual shaft from the transmission case while carefully disconnecting the actuator rod from the detent lever assembly but keeping the assembly on the case. The procedure requires manual shaft detent (w/shift position switch) lever assembly removal afterwards. The installation process begins with mating the detent lever assembly to the actuator rod before installing the manual shaft detent (w/shift position switch) lever assembly. Automatic transmission fluid should be applied to protect the manual shift shaft seal during shaft installation. Insert the manual shaft before using the dt-48550 tool to position the detent lever hub pin at 7.9 mm (0.38 in) height. Install the new manual shift shaft pin using the j 41229 (Manual Shaft Pin Installer) until it reaches a height between 7.2-8.2 mm (0.28-0.32 in) to achieve proper shaft engagement. Install the control Valve Body followed by a service fast learn adapt procedure.
