The first step to replace an automatic transmission shift lever requires disabling the sir system. First remove upper and lower trim covers if needed before taking wire harness straps from the wire harness assembly. The shift lever connector at the column base needs disconnecting before you lift the shift lever seal and move it up the shift lever. Remove the shift lever screw from the shift lever assembly before taking out the shift lever assembly along with the seal from the column. The shift lever seal should be pulled towards the narrow part of the shift lever (base). Detaching the shift lever seal from the shift lever becomes necessary if so instructed. You should position the shift lever seal onto the shift lever assembly before installing the shift lever assembly to the
Steering Column. Install the shift lever screw inside the shift lever assembly and create 20 n.m (15 lb ft) torque. Pursue the shift lever seal downward along the shift lever assembly and restore the upper and lower trim covers if required while guiding the shift lever seal into its place within the Steering Column trim covers. Finally, enable the sir system.
